Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
.. even simpler:
Code:
Sub Highlight_Last_v2()
  Dim c As Range, cFound As Range
  
  For Each c In Range("C3:K3")
    Set cFound = Range("C6:C37").Find(What:=c.Value, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious)
    If Not cFound Is Nothing Then c.Copy cFound
  Next c
End Sub

.. and if we know that all the values in C3:K3 will exist at least once in C6:C37 then
Code:
Sub Highlight_Last_v3()
  Dim c As Range
  
  For Each c In Range("C3:K3")
    c.Copy Range("C6:C37").Find(What:=c.Value, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious)
  Next c
End Sub

End Sub
Peter_SSs, Sub Highlight_Last_v3 is ideal because yes all the values in C3:K3 exist at least once in C6:C37 thank you for shooting the code it is resulting perfect.</SPAN></SPAN>

Can I ask you one more favour? I have add one more column to right side and I want if it could be coloured as shown below in the given example

Try
Code:
Sub Highlight_Last_v4()
  Dim c As Range, cFound As Range
  
  For Each c In Range("C3:K3")
    Set cFound = Range("C6:C37").Find(What:=c.Value, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious)
    c.Copy cFound
    cFound.Offset(, 1).Interior.Color = vbGreen
  Next c
End Sub

What about this code?
Code:
Option Explicit


Sub Colorize()
Dim r%, My_color%, Mn%, Mx%
Dim x%, y%
Mn = 3: Mx = 11
r = Range("C6").End(4).Row
Range("C6:D" & r).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
For x = Mn To Mx
 
 My_color = Cells(2, x).Interior.ColorIndex
    For y = r To 6 Step -1
       If Cells(y, 3) = Cells(2, x) Then
            With Cells(y, 3)
                .Interior.ColorIndex = My_color
                .Offset(, 1).Interior.Color = vbGreen
            End With
          Exit For
       End If
    Next y
Next x


End Sub

Peter_SSs, yes I did not bother to change the font colours, as I am using your code it is vary simple and flexible while changing the locations is easy and so practical </SPAN></SPAN>

Thank you for the nice code :)
