RagDyer,

While I can surely appreciate your help in resolving this matter, I would
rather you not treat me like a dumbass. As I said in my initial posting...I
am relatively new to this process and would need a step by step explanation
on how to accomplish my task.

I have reviewed the Chip's directions and unfortunately I can not figure out
how to compare 2 columns on a single sheet. Can you assist me with this-minus
the sarcasm, please?

Have you tried using Chip's directions as I've suggested?

Nobody, I entered in the below formula and nothing happened. Let me be
more
specific with what I need:

First, I copy and paste my document into EXCEL and sort in alpha order by
the tenants name. Then I have to go down column 1 that are the payments
received and cross-reference with column 2, which are the charges and have
the matched data highlighted, so I can eliminate it to get to the bottom
number.

EXAMPLE:

Tenant Name Column1 Column2
TBELL 50.00
TBELL 50.00

I would like the system to highlight the 2 - 50.00 entries. Would I need
to
do this as a conditional format or some other function? I really
appreciate
your help!

High light your range. Assuming your range from A2:B100

Conditional Formatting, Select Formula IS

=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$100=$A2),--($B$2:$B$5=$B2))1

Select Format Font, Color Blue, then click OK

I am working in 1 worksheet and have data in 2 columns and I would like
to
search for duplicates and have the matches highlight automatically.

Below is an example:

Tenant Debit Credit
ABC $500
ABC $500

Then the 2 duplicate entries would be highlighted in blue.

I am somewhat of a beginner at the function entries, so please explain
the
steps in detail.
