Thanks for your reply

apologies for not been clear, allow me to explain again with below e.g.

column1 column2 column3
list 1 00010
list 1 00010
list2 00011

I need a check on these 3 rows i.e.if from above example list2 does not have
00010, it should display in column 3 as addition

Used =ColorIndex(A2) function but gives me a error Name#

any help will be appreciated

Thanks for looking into my query

I am doing a comparision on column empid i.e. if empid 1 (red) is seen and
if no corresponding yellow then it has be displayed as additon or if empid
1
(yellow) is seen and if no corresponding red then it has be displayed as
deletion
