If speed is the issue, VBA code will probably be SLOWER than the array formulas, not faster.

You can identify missing items with a COUNTIF or MATCH formula. Assuming you've named the ranges
RangeA and RangeB. Let's say RangeA starts in A2. RangeB starts in F2. In B2

=IF(COUNTIF(RangeB,A2)=0,"Missing from B","")

or

=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A2,RangeB,0)),"Missing from B","")

and copy down through the last entry in RangeA.

I would like to compare Range A and Range B and then be able to identify or

Keep in mind,, that range B has unique items but Range A had several
instances of the same name....i.e. non-unique items. I have done this
successfiully via Array formulas in the wrksht, but it takes too long. I
would like to do in code. Any suggestions?
