    Select Records that appear in multiple columns

    I am trying to select records in column A that appear in column B

    so for example:
    column a:
    dog
    cat
    bird
    snake

    column B:
    insect
    mouse
    cat
    dog


    cat and dog would be selected in column A.

    help would be appreciated, thanks!

    select them and do what, when found?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    select them then sort by row.

    so if a record in column A matched a record in column B, sort the sheet so that all rows where column a matches a record in column b can be sorted. I need to separate rows where A=B, so say if I have 400 rows out of 1000 where A=B I would want those 400 rows to be sorted to the top of the sheet.
