Hello!

I have some VBA code to find duplicate values between two sheets (Sheet1 and Sheet2)

Sub t()
Dim c As Range, fn As Range, adr As String
With Sheets("sheet1")
For Each c In .Range("A2", .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp))
Set fn = Sheets("sheet2").Range("A:A").Find(c.Value, , xlValues, xlWhole)
If Not fn Is Nothing Then
adr = fn.Address
c.Interior.Color = RGB(400, 200, 100)
Do
fn.Interior.Color = RGB(400, 200, 100)
Set fn = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A:A").FindNext(fn)
Loop While fn.Address <> adr
End If
Next
End With
End Sub


But I need it to clear the duplicate contents from Sheet 1, after it finds them.
Ideally, I'd like a message to appear first before removal.

The process would be
1. Check for duplicate values between two sheets
2. Highlight duplicate values
3. Message stating "Duplicates found, would you like to remove?"
4. If selecting yes, then removing the duplicates from Sheet 1
5. If selecting no, then keeping the duplicates highlighted.


Thanks in advance!!
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.

***OR*** another option is :
1. Find duplicate values between two sheets
2. Highlight duplicate values

Separate macro to removed highlight duplicates from Sheet 1

Typo
*to remove highlighted duplicates from Sheet 1

Oddly there doesn't seem to be an edit post button on this site :/
