Let's say you have something like the following:

ID Manager Name
1 Mike
1 George
1 Mike
1 George
2 John
2 Mary
2 John
2 Mary
2 John

There are 4 people with an ID of "1" where 2 of the people have Mike as a manager and 2 have George as a manager. How do you decide which to highlight? Same for ID "2".

Above case all of them . But below case won’t
ID Manager Name
3. Math
3. Math
4. Mary
3. Math
4. Mary
3. Math


Hope it is clear. Thanks

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
OK, so even if one manager name is different for each ID, you want all to highlight all of them. Is this correct?

Try:
Code:
Sub CompareCols()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim LastRow As Long
    LastRow = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    Dim rngUniques As Range
    Dim rng As Range, ID As Range
    Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A" & LastRow).AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace, CriteriaRange:=Range("A1:A" & LastRow), Unique:=True
    Set rngUniques = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:A" & LastRow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
    If Sheets("Sheet1").FilterMode Then Sheets("Sheet1").ShowAllData
    For Each ID In rngUniques
        Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A" & LastRow).AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=ID
        For Each rng In Range("B2:B" & LastRow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
            If Rows(rng.Row + 1).Hidden = False Then
                If rng <> rng.Offset(1, 0) Then
                    Range("A2:B" & LastRow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
                    Exit For
                End If
            End If
        Next rng
    Next ID
    If Sheets("Sheet1").FilterMode Then Sheets("Sheet1").ShowAllData
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
