    This can be done with conditional formatting and the MATCH command. =ISNA(MATCH(A1,'1st'!$A$1:$A$18,0)) Match looks for the value in A1 in the range A1:B18 on the first sheet. If it finds it, it returns the row number on which it was found. If it does not find it, it returns #N/A.

    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.

    In your 2nd tab, A1, go to Conditional Formatting. New Rule. Use a formula.
    Enter:

    Format as desired. Copy your format down with the format painter.

    You must use named ranges:
    FirstSheet ='1st'!$A$1:$A$18
    SecondSheet ='2nd '!$A$1:$A$21
    then conditional format formula (on the first sheet) looks like:
    =ISNA(MATCH(A1,SecondSheet,0))

    Must be a 2007 thing. It works in 2013 and 2016. Named ranges are the way to go.
