Hi,

Column A has 1000 rows and Column B is 3000 rows.
I am trying to write VBA to search column A value in Column B. If found then change the background of column B yellow otherwise green.

Any help, please.
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
You can do that with conditional formatting
Select col B > Conditional formatting > new rule > use a formula >
=ISERROR(MATCH(B1,A:A,0))
Select format > OK
the formula for yellow would be
=ISNUMBER(MATCH(B1,A:A,0))
