    Compare two worksheets and highlight differences on one of the worksheets

    Hello all,

    I have two worksheets in the same workbook. The first worksheet contains last periods score matrix, the second worksheet contains this periods score matrix.

    I am struggling to find a away to highlight those cells in this periods worksheet that are different from last periods worksheet.

    I have been able to go as far as identifying the changed cells. I know that works from use of 'MsgBoxes', however I cannot find a way to highlight the identified cells. Its probably because I have chosen to go about this the wrong way entirely. Can someone please give me a guide as to how I should go about this?

    The code I have that works (according to MsgBox's anyway) is below. I would very much appreciate any guidance whatsoever.

    I am using Excel 2003

    Thanks,

    Thanks Ed,

    Unfortunately "varScoring(irow, icol).Select" brings up Run-time error 424 - Object Required

    Any other suggestions very welcome.

    Okay, then how about just Cells(irow, icol).select
    That should work, I think. We just need to select that cell before we can highlight it.
