Hello All.
I ran the recorder to find duplicate values and color based upon a conditional. This is not the way I really wanted.
Problem: I have letters/numbers in column B. I wish to match the column B with letters/numbers in column D. However, it is not an exact match.
For example, the letter/number in column B may be ACI-5, which almost matches ACI-5(G) in column D.
Because it is an approximate match, both cells in Column B and Column D will be colored RGB 248, 56, 132.
I originally thought about using a vlookup application, but I don't believe that is the way to go.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the help
 
Let me work on this and report back
Thank you
