Compare Worksheet Values
 

I have two worksheets sheet1 and sheet2. Each cells in
the worksheets are text values. Sheet1 range of cells is
(A1:A1677) and sheet2 range of cells is (A1:A822).

I would like to see if the values in sheet2 are listed in
sheet1. If the value is found in sheet1 then color that
cell background yellow. Compare each cell value in sheet2
against sheet1.

Please help me create a Excel VB macro to complete this
task.

Thank You,

Steven
