Excel for comparing two columns exceeding 1,048,576 count
 

I have an Excel macro which works well in comparing two columns A and B.
it populates column C with unique values in A and not in B, populates column D with unique values in column B and not in A and puts the values found in both A and B in the fifth column (E).
Data in the columns A and B of Sheet 1 has exceeded 1,048,576 (the maximum allowable in Excel 2007) and i will copy the overflow data in Sheet 2's column A and B and i will like the comparison to continue in the next worksheet.
I need the macro to treat the second worksheet as a continuation of the first sheet and not as a separate data.
(The values i am comparing have exceeded 1million)
Kindly assist with the modification on the attached macro that will perform this.

You should think about using Access for this, you're pushing Excel beyond visible limits...

I agree with pascal in that Access is far better suited for this than Excel, however, Excel can do it.
Create a second range defined on the second worksheet. After the process finishes with the first range, it then steps through the second range.
