So I have a table...
A B C D E F G 54 8:45 Jane Paul 8:45 37 37 1:12 Dave Chris 5:35 78 78 5:35 Chris Jane 6:40 90 90 6:40 Jane Liz 2:05 14 37 8:45 Paul Sarah 7:30 54 82 3:14 Matt Jane 8:45 54 14 2:05 Liz Dave 1:12 37 54 7:30 Sarah Mike 9:00 14 14 9:00 Mike Matt 3:14 82
Basically, what I need to happen is high light the values in Column A if they match those in Column G if the data in the corresponding columns (B and C) match those in F and E.
I understand this may not be entirely clear.
I need it to identify that for each row, columns A B and C match 1 row in columns E F and G.
For example, it would see that B1 = "8:45" and C1 = "Jane". Then it would look for a row where E= "Jane" and F = "8:45". These would be E6 and F6. Once these two rows are determined, it would see what the corresponding values from columns A and G are. So A1="54" and G6="54". Therefore, both 54's would be highlighted.
It should be noted that there are instances in which there could be multiple "Jane"'s or "8:45"'s or "54"'s in the columns. This is demonstrated in the table above. So the matching would need to be one-to-one or "without replacement". So once a row a cell or group of cells is used for a match, it is no longer used for future comparisons. This is incredibly important to the project because there will often be duplicates; some intentional and some by mistake.
If any of this is still unclear, please let me know. I find myself struggling with the appropriate wording of the problem.
If this can be done in conditional formatting as opposed to Macros, that would be ideal.
Thank you very much.
