Default Matching up data - BOB?

you are probably correct - Thank you Bob

Your new formula has nothing to do with comparing one column against another
AFAICS.

Sounds like you have no full matches. Are you sure that some of the seeming
matches do not have extra spaces, probably at the end?

sorry it does not fix it,
There are no cells with a red format like I set up

I also tried =IF(C2=C3,1,IF(C2=C1,1,""))
which works in another spreadsheet (numbers), but does not here for some
reason

There was a missing ) in my formula

=ISNUMBER(MATCH(C1,B:B,0))

does that fix it?

Bob I did exactly what you ask - but I do not get any colour

differential,
I
know for a fact that there are 200 names that are in both lists.
Very frustrated here

I would use conditional formatting.

Select all cells in column C, assuming starting at C1,
Goto FormatConditional Formatting
Change Condition1 to Formula Is
Add a formula of =ISNUMBER(MATCH(C1,B:B,0)
Select the pattern tab
Select a colour
OK out

all items in C that are also in B will show in colour.

I have a list in column C that has thousands of different company
names
and I am trying to see which names in column C match up with the

names
in
column B which has hundreds of names.
