    Find out if two columns are the same

    Hi!
    I have two columns A and B with quite a lot of values, some of which I had to write myself, and I'd like to be sure they are really the same: I mean with the same values in the same cells. Is there a way to check it and, if the two columns are different, highlight the differences?

    An example:

    A B
    1 1
    2 4 highlighted
    6 6
    3 3
    5 2 highlighted

    Thanks!

    Yes, but probably I do it wrong, because it doesn't work...

    Not hot on CD, but you could use this in Column C and copy down.
