I need a formula that will compare text in two separate Ranges and find
those that match.

Thanks for your help!

Hi tonya

Hi Tonya

There are many ways to do this in Excel, here is one. It assumes your lists are in Column A and Column B. In C1 put this formula:
=IF(COUNTIF(B:B,A1)>0,A1,"")
Copy thi sdown as far as needed

I also have some examples of highlighting and preventing duplicates on my Website under the link "Handy Hints".
