Thanks in advance for your assistance. I took the awesome work by mumps in the following code and modified it to my needs.

I am having a couple of issues and would like to ask for assistance.

1. How do I modify the function so if the sheet (referred to as Sheets(ShtNmUpdt) in the function and "Sheet1" of the Sub) has duplicates values, it still includes everything after the duplicate value. For example, once it sees Celtics twice, it stops adding to the list and only up to the first "Celtics", it gets updated. I believe the section of the code that needs to be modified is within the function:

VBA Code:
    With Sheets(ShtNmOrgl)
        For Each Rng In .Range(AdrsOrgl, .Cells(.Rows.Count, ColNoOrgl).End(xlUp))
            If Not RngList.Exists(Rng.Value) Then
                 RngList.Add Rng.Value, Nothing     '
            End If
        Next
    End With


2. If a value was not in Sheets(ShtNmOrgl) ("Sheet2" of the sub), I would like to shade that value in Sheets(ShtNmUpdt) ("Sheet1" of the sub). It could be this line of code:
VBA Code:
aDicMisgVal.Add Rng.Value, Nothing

in this section of the function:
VBA Code:
   With Sheets(ShtNmUpdt)
        For Each Rng In .Range(AdrsUpdt, .Cells(.Rows.Count, ColNoUpdt).End(xlUp))
            If aDictionary.Exists(Rng.Value) Then
                'do nothing so it gets excluded from the list
            ElseIf Not RngList.Exists(Rng.Value) Then
                aDicMisgVal.Add Rng.Value, Nothing
                Sheets(ShtNmOrgl).Cells(Sheets(ShtNmOrgl).Rows.Count, ColNoOrgl).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) = Rng
            End If
        Next
    End With

and or the following code:
VBA Code:
    With Sheets(ShtNmUpdt)
        For Each Rng In .Range(AdrsOrgl, .Cells(.Rows.Count, ColNoOrgl).End(xlUp))
            If ColrMisgVal = "Yes" And aDicMisgVal(Rng.Val).Exists Then
                Rng.Interior.ColorIndex = 38
            End If
        Next
    End With

Here is the "Sheet2" (name within the sub) which is Sheets(ShtNmOrgl) within the function before any updates:
Book1
ABC
1
2TEAM
3Lakers
4Warriors
5
6
7
Sheet2


Here is the "Sheet1" (name within the sub) which is Sheets(ShtNmOrgl). The sheet with the updates. Basically, all values in "Sheet2" that are not in "Sheet1", will be added to "Sheet1" and then color them/shade the cells in "Sheet2"
Book1
ABCD
1
2TEAM
3Warriors
4Rockets
5Mavericks
6Celtics
7Celtics
8Pistons
9
Sheet1


"Sheet2" actual results
Book1
ABC
1
2TEAM
3Lakers
4Warriors
5Rockets
6Mavericks
7Celtics
8
Sheet2


"Sheet2" desired results
Book1
ABC
1
2TEAM
3Lakers
4Warriors
5Rockets
6Mavericks
7Celtics
8Pistons
9
Sheet2


"Sheet1" shading to show what was updated in "Sheet2"
Book1
ABCD
1
2TEAM
3Warriors
4Rockets
5Mavericks
6Celtics
7Celtics
8Pistons
9
10
Sheet1


The sub:
VBA Code:
Sub CompareTest()

    Dim aDictionary As Object

    Set aDictionary = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") 'nothing is stored in the dictionary to be excluded in this version
    CmprListsNAddF "Sheet2", "Sheet1", "TEAM", aDictionary, "Yes"

End Sub

The function:
VBA Code:
Function CmprListsNAddF(ShtNmOrgl As String, ShtNmUpdt As String, ColHdgNm As String, _
                         aDictionary As Object, ColrMisgVal As String) As Variant

'Notes
    'ShtNmOrgl as String - The sheet with the original data which will be updated
    'ShtNmUpdt as String - The sheet with the data with updates. It will be transferred to the ShtNmOrgl
    'ColHdgNm as String - The name of the column Heading with the data to be updated
    'aDictionary As Object - The values to be excluded from the list. _
        This needs to be declared in the Sub where, for example, "aDictionary" is setting, the following _
        needs to be done: _
        Dim aDictionary as Object _
        Set aDictionary = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") _
        Then read the values if any into aDictionary. If there are none, it can be left blank. Two examples: _
            (1)aDictionary("MARK") = Empty _
            (2) For j = 2 To 6 _
                    aDictionary(.Cells(j, 1).Value) = Empty -> in this example, 1 is the column no. _
                Next j _
            basically in these examples what's in the parethesis is the value being stored in the _
            dictionary, which will be exlcuded to be added
