Default A "spell check" for numbers

Yes. If you are entering the number in coumns A and B as a check, you can
conditional format with formula is =$A1=$B1 to show green and/or
=NOT($A1=$B1) to show red.

Hi
I have an excel sheet (template) where I enter numbers. Sometimes the
same numbers are entered twice, which is a good thing since it can
pick up mistakes if they are compared by the computer. For example:
12345
12354
Can the computer compare numbers that appear similar, somewhat like a
spell check? If there is no function, can their be a vba solution for
this?
Any input appreciated
Thanks
