Which column on Sheet3? Also note that the code specifies sheet names "Sheet1" and "Sheet3", not "Sheet 1", "Sheet 3" with the space as you had, though it should have displayed an error if the sheet names don't exist.

The following code looks in Sheet3 column A (the "A:A" in the code) for cells B10 B18 and B26 on Sheet1, and colours them red if not found, or no colour if found.

If it still doesn't work, record a macro with you manually finding one of the cells and post the VBA code generated. And say what value is in Sheet1 cell B10, B18, B26.

hi kyrieanna and welcome to the forum

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook. The workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

To attach a file to your post,
click advanced (next to quick post),
scroll down until you see "manage file",
click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
