Hi,
Please help me write a code that will check if a work centre on sheet 1 appears on sheet 2. If it appears in sheet 2 the work centres in sheet 1 must be highlighted in light grey. I have no VBA Experience or any significant programming experience so any assistance will be appreciated.

Hi MsVictorry,

Assuming column A is used on both sheets for the work centers and at least sheet1 has an header. Also sheet 1 is called "Sheet1" and sheet 2 is called "Sheet2".

Give this code a try: 
Sub RunMe()
Dim mFind As Range

Sheets("Sheet1").Select

For Each cell In Range("A2:A" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
    Set mFind = Sheets("Sheet2").Columns("A").Find(cell.Value)
    If Not mFind Is Nothing Then
        cell.Interior.TintAndShade = -0.149998474074526
    End If
Next cell

End Sub


How to implement and run a code:

- From Excel hit Alt + F11 to open the “Microsoft Visual Basic” window.
- Go to the top menu in the newly opened window > Insert > Module.
- Paste the code in the big white field.
- You can now close this window.
- Back at Excel, hit Alt + F8 to display the available macro’s.
- Double-click the macro you wish to run.
NOTE: macro’s cannot be reversed using the blue arrows. Always make sure you save your file (or create a back up to be entirely sure) before running a code, so you can re-open your file if something unforeseen happens or you want to go back to the situation before the code was run.

Best regards,
Trowa
