compare data in 2 excel spreadsheets and then highlight common data in one excel -


i have excel sheet 2 tabs . in each tab there text written.

i need compare values in column_1 in sheet 1 values in column_2 of sheet2 , in case similar values present need highlight text in sheet1.

also, suppose copy data sheet1 sheet2 (column_2) shee1(column_1) need highlighted.

note : 1. should work via conditional formatting or other formulas. cannot use macro

  1. don't mention copy sheet1 , sheet2 in 1 sheet , apply formula. don't want use approach

select column_1 in sheet 1 , home > styles - conditional formatting, new rule..., use formula determine cells format , format values formula true::

=countif(sheet2!$b:$b,a1) 

format..., select colour fill (highlight) of choice, ok, ok.

when copying column_1 in sheet 1 sheet2 formatting may transferred unless choice made not to.
