you sure don't give much to go on...
what do you mean by "highlight"?

there are lots of ways to do what you're asking.
here's one I threw together.
it "highlights" by changing the font to bold and red:

Option Explicit
Sub IsPresent()
    Dim bRow, cRow
    'Reset previous "highlights"
    Range("B3:B20").Select
    Selection.Font.Bold = False
    With Selection.Font
        .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
        .TintAndShade = 0
    End With
    Range("A1").Select
    'Loop through range
    For bRow = 3 To 20
        For cRow = 3 To 99
            If Cells(bRow, "B").Value = Cells(cRow, "C").Value Then
                Cells(bRow, "B").Font.Color = vbRed
                Cells(bRow, "B").Font.Bold = True
                Exit For
            End If
        Next cRow
    Next bRow
  
End Sub

Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ How to match numbers from 2 columns with minimal 
formulas


Hi.

I've been trying to put together VBA code that will allow me to match
2 columns with minimal Excel formulas.

There are 2 columns. 1st column (B3 to B20) has a set of numbers. 2nd
column (C3 to C99) has another set of numbers. I need to highlight
cells in the 1st column IF the cell's content matches any of the
numbers in the 2nd column.

Ideally, I would like to use VBA code only. Could anyone please cook
something up or provide a code that already exists?

Thanks!!!
