Found a value on another sheet and change color

I have the formula on the worksheet "ShA" cell "BJ3"

=INDEX(BG4:BG801,A2)
where the "A2" contains the result of the formula
= max(A3:A1000)

The result of the =INDEX(BG4:BG801,A2) will be a string value eg
'010'

On another worksheet "ShB" i have a column A with string values as wel
and somewhere in this column there is the result of the above formul
eg '010'.

Using the conditional format option i can use a formula that when i
matches with the specific result value eg. '010' to highlight th
active cell .

I want all the previous to be with vb code because it will be part of
long vb code.

Thanks in advance

try something like the following:

Dim wks_target As Worksheet
Dim wks_source As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range
Dim cell As Range
Dim lookup_value

Set wks_target = Worksheets("ShB")
Set wks_source = Worksheets("ShA")
lookup_value = wks_source.Range("BJ3").Value

Set rng = wks_target.Range("A1:A100")
For Each cell In rng
If cell.Value = lookup_value Then
cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End If
Next
End Sub

Hi
you have to decide if you want a formula approach or a VBA solution.
IThe code after this line will find all matching values and will color
them.
