I have a master Excel worksheet, which has six columns:- C:D:E:F:G:H and
there are approximately one thousand rows. On a daily basis I import data into Column A. of this master worksheet. The data consists of lots of different 10 digit numbers, so I have a different 10 digit number in each row of Column A., an example of which follows:- A 1234567896 1721626196 3333445556 7768754321 9675332699 The amount of rows that I import also varies daily, it can be as low as five rows of 10 digit numbers imported, or approximately 999 rows of 10 digit numbers imported. The rest of the worksheet is as follows:- Column C has four numbers Column D has text Column E has text Column F. has different 10 digit numbers in every row Column G has text Column H has text What I would like to do, is to compare Column A., to column F. and if any 10 digit number in Column A. is the same as any 10 digit number in column F. then I would like to highlight that number, in both Column A. and in column F. with the colour green, so I can see at a glance, what numbers in Column A. are also in column F. So to sum up, if I import 20 x 10 digit numbers into column A., and those 20 numbers are in column F. then all 20 numbers in column A. and all 20 matching numbers in column F. would turn green, Either the font or the cell background, whatever it is easiest., but the colour of the rest of the unmatched numbers in column F. and column A. would remain unchanged. I have not had much experience using Excel, and to assist me I have a couple of library books on the subject, but there is nothing in the books that will help me with this problem, hence my post here in the hope that somebody could help me please. |
