conditional formating
 

Hi all,
I have a simple problem (i haven't touched a macro for ages),
On a a tab, I have a list of codes,
on another tab another list of code (very long). I would like to
highlight the codes in the second tab that matches the 1st one.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help

Dim LastRow As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim CheckSheet As Worksheet

Set CheckSheet = Worksheets("Sheet1")
With Worksheets("Sheet2")

LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To LastRow

.Cells(i, "A").Interior.Colorindex = xlColorindexNone
If Not IsError(Application.Match(.Cells(i, "A").Value,
CheckSheet.Columns(1),0))) then

.Cells(i, "A").Interior.Colorindex =38
End If
Next i
End With

Can be done simply using conditional formatting,
Copy all the cells that you want to check and open the Conditional
Formatting window.
Use the 'formula is' option and then type in =countif([range],
[criteria])=0 choose the formatting you want and click ok.

Should highlight all the duplicates...
