    I have absolutely no idea what you want... based on your cryptic description.

    Please read the yellow banner (top), about sample sheets and provide a sample that meets its guidelines.

    Where is the sample sheet that meets the forum guidelines?

    I do not want to play guessing games.

    I agree with Glenn that your explanation was a little confusing and that a sample file would help.

    I think I understand what you want only because I had a similar thing with forms I use for my work.
    Why not simply highlight duplicates with that built in function?

    I also use a similar VBA macro in a file I use for the same reason, this will highlight dupliates with different colors so you can differentiate between them.

    This assumes that Purchase Orders are in Column A and Sales Orders are in Column B.
