hello,
I am very new to vba programming. I am facing a new problem.
What i am trying to do here,
So i have two sheet, sheet1 and sheet2. Compare between sheet1 column "C" and sheet2 column "R".


  • First highlight green,those mc# in sheet1 column "C", that are common in sheet1 and also in sheet2
  • second highlight yellow, those mc# in sheet1 column "C", that mc# is in sheet1 but not in sheet2
  • third highlight red, those mc# in sheet2 column "R", that mc# is not in sheet1 but is in sheet2

Next compare between sheet1 column "B" and sheet2 column "O".


  • fourth highlight green,those wr# in sheet1 column "B", that are common in sheet1 and also in sheet2
  • fifth highlight yellow, those wr# in sheet1 column "B", that wr# is in sheet1 but not in sheet2
  • sixth highlight red, those wr# in sheet2 column "O", that wr# is not in sheet1 but is in sheet2
Thank you.

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.

This is untested, but try the below. If you receive any errors, please let me know what the error is and what line it errors on.

Code: 
Public Sub fahadun()
Dim d1          As Object, _
    d2          As Object
    
Dim ws1         As Worksheet, _
    ws2         As Worksheet
    
Dim LR1         As Long, _
    LR2         As Long
    
Dim i           As Long, _
    k           As Variant
    
Dim indexGreen  As Long, _
    indexYellow As Long, _
    indexRed    As Long
    
    
indexGreen = 4
indexYellow = 6
indexRed = 3
    
Set ws1 = Sheets("Sheet1")
Set ws2 = Sheets("Sheet2")

'Compare columns C and R
Set d1 = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Set d2 = CreateObject("Scripting.dictionary")

LR1 = ws1.Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
LR2 = ws2.Range("R" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

For i = 2 To LR1
    If Not d1.Exists(ws1.Range("C" & i).Value) Then
        d1.Add ws1.Range("C" & i).Value, i
    End If
Next i

For i = 2 To LR2
    If Not d2.Exists(ws2.Range("R" & i).Value) Then
        d2.Add ws2.Range("R" & i).Value, i
    End If
Next i

For Each k In d1.Keys
    If d2.Exists(k) Then
        ws1.Range("C" & d1(k)).Interior.colorindex = indexGreen
    Else
        ws1.Range("C" & d1(k)).Interior.colorindex = indexYellow
    End If
Next k

For Each k In d2.Keys
    If Not d1.Exists(k) Then
        ws2.Range("R" & d2(k)).Interior.colorindex = indexRed
    End If
Next k

Set d1 = Nothing
Set d2 = Nothing

'Compare columns B and O
Set d1 = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

    End If
Next i

    If Not d2.Exists(ws2.Range("O" & i).Value) Then
        d2.Add ws2.Range("O" & i).Value, i
    End If

I just tested this with dummy data, and it worked as intended. Can you please provide some sample data that I can run it against?

Unfortunately, I cannot download files on this computer (at work). Can you provide a small list I can test against?

One thing I didn't ask... are the values unique in the columns? Meaning you won't see the same value twice in Sheet1 Column C? If there are duplicate values, how do you want these handled?

in sheet1 Both column have repetitive values. if every duplicate value is highlighted, that will be good. in sheet2 every value is unique.

i don't know why, but it's not letting me make tables. In sheet1 both columns have repetitive values, and it's in ascending order. if every repetitive value are highlighted that will be good. but in sheet2 every values are unique in both columns. i am gonna make a table when i go home.
