I am trying to put together the code in MS 360 Excel that will allow me to turn a single cells red if the macro creates an error. Here is my current Code which doesn't work.

Code: 
   Validate that any new accounts

        For i = 6 To FinalRow - 1
            Cells(i, 9).FormulaR1C1 = "=IFERROR(vlookup(RC[-8],Validation_Table,1,False),Cells(2,2).Interior.Color = 192)"
        Next i

Try:

Dim r As Range
For i = 6 To FINALROW - 1
    On Error Resume Next
    Set r = Range("Validation_Table").Resize(, 1).find(what:=Cells(i, 8).Value)
    On Error GoTo 0
    If r Is Nothing Then
        Cells(i, 2).Interior.Color = vbRed
        Set r = Nothing
    End If
Next i

Not sure how that ties in with my vlookup. The Validation Table is nothing more that my current working Trial Balance - I then export my new trial balance out of our Business System but need to make sure all accounts are assigned thus the vlookup against the validatiion table. I am currently getting the N/A when it does find a account on the TB export but since the table is 2000 rows long I have to page down to see the N/A so I would know if there is an account missing. What I am hoping to do is have cells(2,2) turn red if it encounters any error during the validation. So if an account on row 1560 wasn't on the validation table cells(2,2) turns red and I know to go looking. Usually no new accounts are added but when they are I need to catch it. That way I know to go looking instead of having to review all the lines each run for an N/A. I am hoping that I just have a syntax error with the IFERROR I am using. I know that IFERROR gets a little tricky in the needed syntax when it is combined with a vlookup.

Try:
Code: 
Dim r as Range
For i = 6 To FINALROW - 1
    Cells(i, 9).FormulaR1C1 = "=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(RC[-8],Validation_Table,1,0))"    
Next i

Set r = Cells(6, 9).Resize(FINALROW - 6).SpecialCells(xlErrors)
If Not r Is Nothing Then 
   Cells(2, 2).Interior.Color = vbRed
   Set r = Nothing
End If

It didn't like the way we have IFERROR setup on your example so I just took the IFERROR out. Then I ran the code. It's giving me the error "Run-Time '1004' Unable to get the SpecialCells Property of the Range class" when it hits Set r = ...
Thanks so much for all the help you have already given but just not quite there yet. Hoping you can help.

Code: 
Sub GetTB()

'       Runs off of InTacct Consolidated Trial Balance - Cut and Paste starting at 2nd Title Row


'      Convert Acccount Text to Numeric


            Columns(1).Select
            With Selection
                .TextToColumns Destination:=ActiveCell.Range("A1")
                .ColumnWidth = 16.86
                .EntireColumn.AutoFit
            End With


'   Get Table Dimensions


                    FINALROW = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
                    FinalColumn = Cells(5, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
                    
                    
'   Validate that any new accounts


        For i = 6 To FINALROW - 1
            Cells(i, 9).FormulaR1C1 = "=vlookup(RC[-8],Validation_Table,1,0)"
        Next i
        
'     Test for errors to ID missing accounts on Validation Table


        Set r = Cells(6, 9).Resize(FINALROW - 6).SpecialCells(xlErrors)
        If Not r Is Nothing Then
           Cells(2, 2).Interior.Color = vbRed
           Set r = Nothing
        End If

Thank you for all your help! I found the problem. Works perfect now!

Code: 
        Set r = Cells(6, 9).Resize(FINALROW - 6).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, 16)
