amung the ways would be conditional formatting
select the first data set <format<Conditional Format Formula is Upper(vlookup(Current cell,second range,2,false))="Y" set the format as you want. note I often have to go backinto conditonal format to get rid of unwanted quote marks and verify relative absolute cell referencing is correct.

Assume your first list is in column A and your second in columns J and K
in B1 put this formula and copy down........ =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,J:K,2,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(A1,J: K,2,FALSE)) Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "Becs" wrote in message ...
