I had 10 independent SQL tables with no relationships.Each table contained around 20-30 columns each. I needed to establish relation between the tables. So quickly I pasted the columns in to an excel sheet and ran this macro to highlight duplicates, meaning same column availability in all columns.
Below is the depicted sample executed macro excel sheet. Ignore first row as they are just headers. The macro executes from second row.
Sub Highlight_Duplicates()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim cell As Range
Dim myrng As Range
Dim clr As Long
Dim lastCell As Range
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Set myrng = ws.Range("A2:K" & Range("A" & ws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
With myrng
Set lastCell = .Cells(.Cells.Count)
End With
myrng.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
clr = 3
For Each cell In myrng
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(myrng, cell) > 1 Then
' addresses will match for first instance of value in range
If myrng.Find(what:=cell, lookat:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=False, after:=lastCell).Address = cell.Address Then
' set the color for this value (will be used throughout the range)
cell.Interior.ColorIndex = clr
clr = clr + 1
Else
' if not the first instance, set color to match the first instance
cell.Interior.ColorIndex = myrng.Find(what:=cell, lookat:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=False, after:=lastCell).Interior.ColorIndex
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim cell As Range
Dim myrng As Range
Dim clr As Long
Dim lastCell As Range
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Set myrng = ws.Range("A2:K" & Range("A" & ws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
With myrng
Set lastCell = .Cells(.Cells.Count)
End With
myrng.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
clr = 3
For Each cell In myrng
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(myrng, cell) > 1 Then
' addresses will match for first instance of value in range
If myrng.Find(what:=cell, lookat:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=False, after:=lastCell).Address = cell.Address Then
' set the color for this value (will be used throughout the range)
cell.Interior.ColorIndex = clr
clr = clr + 1
Else
' if not the first instance, set color to match the first instance
cell.Interior.ColorIndex = myrng.Find(what:=cell, lookat:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=False, after:=lastCell).Interior.ColorIndex
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
