Default highlighting changes by color in an Excel column

Hi Everyone,

I have a task that I have been doing by hand that is tedious and
inaccurate, and I am hoping a clever reader will be able to help me. I
have several columns of data in an Excel table that I would like to
quickly analyze and determine were the differences are. For example, I
might have 20 rows, and in column 1 I might have 19 'A' and 1 'V'; in
the next column I might have 6 'D', 8 'E', 5 'N', and 1 'Q', etc. What
I do by hand is highlight each change with a different color so that I
can track how and where they change.

Is there a macro that could do this? It is very tedious and time
consuming (not to mention in accurate) for me to do this by hand,
particularly when dealing with several hunderd columns and a 100 or so
rows.

Thank you in advance.

PS I have never written a macro, I just know that they are amazing!

Warm regards,

Eric
