Hello All.
I'm attempting to find matching numbers and highlight them in columns B&C. The code above I used the recorder, which is working, but does not seem like an efficient way. I feel if the numbers in column C extended a long way down, the code would take a long time to run, It appears this way, the program is running one line at a time, finds a matching number, and then starts all the way down at the bottom again to find another set of matching numbers.
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks for the help
 
How about
Code:
Sub GetMatch()

   Dim Cl As Range
   
      For Each Cl In Range("C2", Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
         If Not IsError(Application.Match(Cl.Value, Columns(2), 0)) Then Cl.EntireRow.Interior.Color = vbRed
      Next Cl

End Sub

Excel Facts

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Holy Cow!
It Works!
Thank you very much...

Also, before I replied, I spent some time looking at this code. If I read this correctly, the code is looking at the end of Column C & working it's way up to the top. At the same time, it's finding a match value between Column C to Column (2,0) which is Column B, one row at a time, and then highlighting the row if the condition of match is true....I think

Glad to help & thanks for the feedback.

The code actually starts in C2 & works down, but otherwise, yes.
