Rows of data from two sources have been combined and sorted on one worksheet.
To identify the source of the data, the rows are 'flagged' with the acromyns
"ign" or "leg". The only reason they are appearing on this report is that
there is/are cell(s) of data that have been incorrectly entered in one of the
two records.

In this worksheet, I need to find and highlight the following:
1) If the data in Column A2 equal "ign" and Column A3 equals "leg" and
2) If columns B2 and B3 record numbers are the same then
3) Find the cells within range c2 and ae3 that are different and highlight
them.

This will be comparing two rows of cells, c2 thru ae2 and c3 thru ae3.

I have the following 'conditional formatting' formula as part of a subroutine.
Record1 = Range("$b2")
Record2 = Range(€œ$b3")
Do While Record1 < ""
If Record1 = Record2 Then
Range("$C2:$ae3").Select
Selection.FormatConditions.Delete
Selection.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:= _
"=AND($A1=""ign"",$A2=""leg"",$B2=$B3,C2<AE3) "
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Font
.Bold = True
.Italic = True
End With
Selection.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 40
End If
Loop

This routine identifies the records and selects the rows. But, it does not
highlight the difference cells nor does it move to the next rows of data.

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
