    Identifying duplicates over mulitple sheets with 3 criteria

    Greetings

    I have a problem and was wondering if you fine gentlemen could assist me. As the title suggests I am trying to reconcile two sheets in a workbook, highlighting any duplicates (or more specifically, anomalies that don't match) based on criteria in all 3 columns. I have tried the concatenation/conditional formatting method but in my case it will require a fair bit of formatting for a task I will have to do regularly, so I was seeking a VBA based solution.

    I have attached an extract of my data to highlight what I mean. In the extract, what I want to see highlighted (possibly on a separate column to the side?) is;
    - Row 2 on sheet 1 does not match anything on sheet 2
    - Row 2 on sheet 2 does not match anything on sheet 1
    - Row 4 on sheet 1 has a match on sheet 2 (row 3 on sheet 2)
    - Row 3 on sheet 1 does not match row 4 on sheet 2 (col 3 is different)

    Apologies if this is not clearly presented, I just want to eliminate rows with matches between 2 sheets so i can see any anomalies on either sheet.
    Again thank you for your time.
