    Need Code to highlight difference in two multi-column records

    Having a "senior moment" with this.

    Cols A - E list various "options" that supplier has offered in past,

    Cols I - M list the "options" offered on their latest download.

    Need to extract the "new" options (highlighted in yellow in the example) and add them to the existing list?

    "Real" file has 20k+ records, and differences can be in any column

    Any suggestions, guidance and approaches welcome as ever

    Leo,

    Appreciate the prompt response, but "Copy paste" is not an option,

    End User changes the supplier fields into something different for their system, so each row of historic data is matched to "their" version already. Overwriting Cols A - E would destroy all the links.

    mike,

    Genius. I'd been wasting the day trying to set the two blocs as "areas" and getting nowhere.

    Can now mark this as "solved"
