Compare Columns
Ok I have two columns:
A B Customers: Prospects Abc <highlightGhi<highlight Def <highlightAbc<highlight Ghi Tuv Xyz <highlightDef<highlight I want to run a search against the customers in column A and to see if they appear in the prospects column, if they do, I want to highlight them automatically. It has to be done automatically because in the real list there are about 140 customers and 4000+ prospects. Thanks, James |

Have you tried using Conditional Formatting on column B ?

Sub compare() Const customerColumn = "A" 'Change to your needs Const prospectsColumn = "B" 'Change to your needs Const shName = "Sheet4" Dim customerLastrspectsow As Long Dim prospectsLastrow As Long Dim customerPointer As Variant Dim prospectsPointer As Variant Dim isource As Long Dim iCompare As Long 'lastrow for customer column customerLastrow = Worksheets(shName).Range(customerColumn & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row 'lastrow for prospects column prospectsLastrow = Worksheets(shName).Range(prospectsColumn & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row 'change 3 to the starting row of Customers For isource = 3 To customerLastrow Set customerPointer = Worksheets(shName).Cells(isource, 1) iCompare = 3 'change 3 to the starting row of prospects Do While iCompare <= prospectsLastrow Set prospectsPointer = Worksheets(shName).Cells(iCompare, 2) If customerPointer vbNull Then If prospectsPointer = customerPointer Then prospectsPointer.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 'Yellow End If End If iCompare = iCompare + 1 Loop Next isource End Sub "James" wrote: Ok I have two columns: A B Customers: Prospects Abc <highlightGhi<highlight Def <highlightAbc<highlight Ghi Tuv Xyz <highlightDef<highlight I want to run a search against the customers in column A and to see if they appear in the prospects column, if they do, I want to highlight them automatically.

Highlight all the data in column B, starting with cell B2, and click
on Format | Conditional Formatting and in the panel that pops up select Formula Is in the first box rather than Cell Value Is. In the second box enter this formula: =COUNTIF(A$2:A$150,B2)0 then click the Format button, click on the Patterns tab, and then choose your colour (eg bright yellow). Click OK twice to exit the dialogue box, and then you should have what you want. Hope this helps. Pete On Mar 14, 11:46*pm, Pete_UK wrote: Have you tried using Conditional Formatting on column B ?
