Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know how to via "VBA" check one COLs Values against another Cols Values, and check that they match each other as in count of each set of Values! I do not wish to use conditional formatting ,as I have lot more manipulating to do before and after I achieving this.

Take the following two examples: first one the condition is not met and the 2nd is met

Col A has 3x "A", 4x"B" and 2x "Z" Where as Col B has 4x"B", 1 x "Z" and 4 x "A"...False

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 50, align: center"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
How about
Code:
Sub CompareCol()

   Dim Cl As Range
   Dim Cnt As Long
   
   With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
      For Each Cl In Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
         If Not .exists(Cl.Value) Then
            If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("A:A"), Cl.Value) = WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("B:B"), Cl.Value) Then Cnt = Cnt + 1
            .Add Cl.Value, Nothing
         End If
      Next Cl
      If Cnt = .Count Then
         MsgBox True
      Else
         MsgBox False
      End If
   End With
End Sub
