Hi

I have the following macro that looks between sheets 1 & 2 and deletes all matching entries and then marks all missing entries.

Im trying to add to it so that it again looks through all the workbook but also highlights duplicated entries.

Dont know where to start and didnt know if anyone had any ideas?



Code:
Option Explicit


Sub DeleteIdenticalRecordsFromTwoSheets()
Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet
Dim lr1 As Long, lr2 As Long, i As Long
Dim x, y, xx(), yy(), dict1, dict2
Dim delRng1 As Range, delRng2 As Range


Application.ScreenUpdating = False


Set ws1 = Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set ws2 = Worksheets("Sheet2")


lr1 = ws1.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
lr2 = ws2.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row


ws1.Range("A1:D" & lr1).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1, 2, 3, 4), Header:=xlNo


lr1 = ws1.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
x = ws1.Range("A1:D" & lr1).Value
y = ws2.Range("A1:D" & lr2).Value


Set dict1 = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Set dict2 = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")


For i = 1 To UBound(x, 1)
    dict1.Item(x(i, 1) & x(i, 2) & x(i, 3) & x(i, 4)) = ws1.Range("A" & i).Address
Next i


For i = 1 To UBound(y, 1)
    dict2.Item(y(i, 1) & y(i, 2) & y(i, 3) & y(i, 4)) = ws2.Range("A" & i).Address
Next i


ws1.Columns("E").Clear
ws2.Columns("E").Clear


For i = 1 To UBound(x, 1)
    If dict2.exists(x(i, 1) & x(i, 2) & x(i, 3) & x(i, 4)) Then
        If delRng1 Is Nothing Then
            Set delRng1 = ws1.Range(dict1.Item(x(i, 1) & x(i, 2) & x(i, 3) & x(i, 4)))
        Else
            Set delRng1 = Union(delRng1, ws1.Range(dict1.Item(x(i, 1) & x(i, 2) & x(i, 3) & x(i, 4))))
        End If
    Else
        ws1.Cells(i, 5) = "Missing"
    End If
Next i


For i = 1 To UBound(y, 1)
    If dict1.exists(y(i, 1) & y(i, 2) & y(i, 3) & y(i, 4)) Then
        If delRng2 Is Nothing Then
            Set delRng2 = ws2.Range(dict2.Item(y(i, 1) & y(i, 2) & y(i, 3) & y(i, 4)))
        Else
            Set delRng2 = Union(delRng2, ws2.Range(dict2.Item(y(i, 1) & y(i, 2) & y(i, 3) & y(i, 4))))
        End If
    End If
Next i




If Not delRng1 Is Nothing Then delRng1.EntireRow.Delete
If Not delRng2 Is Nothing Then delRng2.EntireRow.Delete


lr2 = ws2.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row


y = ws2.Range("A1:D" & lr2).Value


For i = 1 To UBound(y, 1)
    If dict1.exists(y(i, 1) & y(i, 2) & y(i, 3) & y(i, 4)) Then
        ws2.Range("E" & i).Value = "Duplicate"
    End If
Next i


Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
