Highlighting Matched Values in Different Ranges Using VBA in Excel

Excel offers powerful features that allow users to manage and analyze data efficiently. One intricate task that some might encounter is highlighting matching values across different worksheets. This guide will guide you through a straightforward solution using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) code.

The Problem

You have two worksheets:

Worksheet "OVR" contains a range (S2:V100) where you want to highlight cells.

Worksheet "LS" contains a list of names in the range (A2:A101).

The objective is to find matching values between these two ranges and highlight corresponding cells in the "OVR" worksheet. This can be invaluable for data analysis or reporting where visual identification of matches can save time and provide clarity in understanding your data.

The Solution: Using VBA

To highlight the matched values effectively, we will use a VBA script. Below, I will take you through the process step by step.

Step-by-Step Guide

Open the VBA Editor:

Press ALT + F11 in Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications editor.

Insert a Module:

Right-click on any of the items in the Project Explorer and choose Insert > Module. This will create a new module where you can write your code.

Copy and Paste the Code:

Below is the complete VBA code designed to highlight the matched values. Copy and paste this code into the module window:

Explanation of the Code

Variables & Ranges: The script begins by defining variables to hold the workbook, worksheets, and ranges. The lRow is calculated to dynamically determine the last row of data in the relevant columns.

Looping through Cells: The main logic utilizes a For Each loop to check each cell in the "OVR" range. If a cell matches any value in the "LS" range, it is added to the durg range for coloring.

Highlighting Matched Cells: After identifying all matched cells, the script colors them green for easy visibility and alerts the user with a confirmation message.

Conclusion

Integrating this VBA code into your Excel file will help automate the process of highlighting matched values, making data analysis more efficient and visually appealing. By following the steps outlined in this post, you can easily highlight occurrences across different worksheets and heighten your productivity in managing data.

Feel free to tweak the colors or extend the use of the code as per your needs. Happy Excel programming!
