Hi
sorry missed that line. Change
Then MsgBox "error at " & ActiveCell.Address
to
Then MsgBox "error at " & Sheets(s1).Cells(r, c).Address

Afraid not Frank, as the msgbox relies on the cell being selected to
accurately report the location of a variation in values. I need a way
of identifying the particular cells that are being checked in the
routine when an error is found.

Hi
If I read you code correctly just remove the line
Cells(r, c).Select
your code should work fine without this line as you are
referencing the cells directly

Selecting cells in a loop routine appears to be terribly
inefficient. The code I have is:
Sub errorchk()
Dim s1, s2 As String
Dim r As Variant
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
s1 = "sheet1"
s2 = "sheet2"
For r = 1 To 100
For c = 1 To 26
Cells(r, c).Select
If Sheets(s1).Cells(r, c).Value < Sheets(s2).Cells(r,
c).Value Then MsgBox "error at " & ActiveCell.Address Next
c Next r
MsgBox "Check complete"
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Range("a1").Select
End Sub
.. but would be grateful if anyone has code that can do the
same quicker as the check range needs to expand.
Thank you in anticipation.
