    Post I need a macro to highlight a column having a word which is another column's entry

    I need a macro to highlight a column having a word which is another column's entry.

    For example,

    Column 1 is having a sentence "Spectracide Cleaning Solution" and Column 2 is having the Word "Spectracide".

    I want to highlight the column 1 to show that it has the word repeated from Column 2.

    Please help me to create a macro for the same.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Thanks for the macro.

    I have 2 columns A and B. In column B some entries are blank. When I run the macro, along with the Duplicated text, the entry in Column A gets highlighted which have no entry in column B.

    Please help me to solve this issue.

    Thanks.

    So if col B is empty then no highlighting. Is that what you want?
