Excel Gurus,
Please help me find the solution for this...
Trying to compare a list of names in 2 columns. Column A has a short list of names I'm looking for in the long list of Column B.
How can you create the macro that does...
If any value in Column A matches any value in Column B
Then format (bold, highlight, etc...)
you can just use conditional formatting if needed - did you want a macro particularly ? i do not have the skill for VBA yet
heres how to use normal conditional formatting
=COUNTIF($A$1:$A$100,B1)>0
I have used a range of 1 to 100 change as required
for 2007 or 2010 excel version
Conditional Formatting
Highlight applicable range >>
B1:B100
Home Tab >> Styles >> Conditional Formatting
New Rule >> Use a formula to determine which cells to format
Edit the Rule Description: Format values where this formula is true:
=COUNTIF($A$1:$A$100,B1)>0
Format… [Number, Font, Border, Fill]
choose the format you would like to apply when the condition is true
OK >> OK
