Hi. I need a code please that will highlight a single row according to C when there is data in AA. As you can see below rows 2, 6, 7 ,8 and 11 are single rows (groups of more than one row can be ignored like 3-5 and 9-10)

8AUA620 2017Data
9AUA620 3008
10AUA620 3008
11AUA620 3014
Sheet1


Below you can see rows 2 and 8 have data in AA so need highlighting, rows 6, 7 and 11 have no data in AA so don't need highlighting. It will be used on various files up to 100,000 rows and there may be groups of rows matching in C up to about 20. I have hidden other columns for clarity.

Hi @Dazzawm.


I hope I understand your request correctly, try the following code:

VBA Code:
Sub Highlight_Row()
  Dim dic As Object, rng As Range, a, ky, i&
 
  Set dic = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
  a = Range("C1:AA" & Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(3).Row).Value2
  Set rng = Range("C1")
 
  For i = 2 To UBound(a, 1)
    If Not dic.exists(a(i, 1)) Then
      'Only consider when there is data in AA
      If a(i, 25) = "" Then dic(a(i, 1)) = 0 Else dic(a(i, 1)) = i
    Else
      dic(a(i, 1)) = 0
    End If
  Next
 
  For Each ky In dic.keys
    If dic(ky) <> 0 Then
      Set rng = Union(rng, Range("A" & dic(ky) & ":AA" & dic(ky)))
    End If
  Next
  rng.Interior.Color = vbYellow
  Range("C1").Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End Sub


--------------
Let me know the result and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Excel Facts

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"
Use conditional formatting to highlight the entire row starting @ row 2 with formula:
Excel Formula:
=IF(OR(NOT(ISBLANK($AA2)),"Data"=$AA2),TRUE,FALSE)

In your formula is not necessary that IF, could be only:

in CF =and(not(isblank($aa2), $aa2="DATA")

If I understand correctly what op wants then:
in CF =and(Unique($c2), $aa2="DATA")

No they later said could be any data so would be the OR condition, and true on the IF statement, I usually add for readability . . .
