Using Excel to compare phone registration status before and after a change

This is a very simple demo that meets the most basic QA requirement.

1.Search phones under CUCM admin GUI, copy and paste the results into a spreadsheet.
2. Remove any unnecessary columns, leave only name and status column,
3. Combine the two column by typing formula =(a1&" "&b1) into the first cell of new column and copy this cell into all the following cells until the last record, so to make a "before column"

4. After the change, repeat the above steps, make an "after" column.
5. Do the comparison with conditional formating:
5.1 highlight the before column, then click conditional formatting, new rule,


5.2 select "use a formula....", enter the formula like this ,then click the Format button,


5.3 choose a color to format the text in before column when a mismatch is found in the after column.


6.Now any entry in the before column that's different from the after column will be highlighted with this color.
