Hi all

I have 2 tabs as shown in the attached screenshots. One works out ID numbers in sequence. The other is for customer/unique ID numbers. What I need is to highlight both lines red when an ID number shows in both tabs as they can't be used more than once.

Problem is that columns E and F only show the first and last number in the batch, and the duplicated entry can't be either of those OR any numbers in between. I have made the bottom 2 rows to show what I mean. Both these lines need to come up as red as 11101 and 11102 will feature between IDs 11100 and 11104.

Ideally I wanted this without macros but at this point I will sacrifice a goat if required, so whatever solution you guys can find will help me keep my sanity.
