Default Maddening Dilemma - Compare each cell within column a to each cell

Hey, sorry for the late post. Been busy with work lately.

As for the color changing, its really not necssary but thanks for the
suggestion.

As for the marker in column B, the trouble with moving the numbers out
of the order i have them in, or extracting unique values is that each
number also has about 11 columns of other information such as acct
numbers and journal ID's and dates and descriptions etc. that go along
with that particular value. So moving it out of the order i get it in
has the possibility of mucking everything up for me.

Its easier just to point out, visually, the values to ignore (or focus
on), and in the process retain the order.

If the marker just marked off the Unique values in column B, i could
of course insert a column next to col O and use it that way somehow,
to sort it, which would actually be quite helpful i think. Maybe if
the macro could look directly at column O, create a column to use for
its data, which it will delete, but also insert a column to the right
of Col O and place the markers there.

Would this be difficult to accomplish?

If its easier, yes, just placing a marker in column B would work just
as well, i can shift columns manually without a problem.

Thanks for the good idea though, as this would allow me to sort by
Unique or cancelled value (since you cannot sort by formatting in
2003)
