Highlight unique with a partial match
Hello,
I need to find and highlight unique values, even those that match partially in two columns. I have attached a screenshot to show what I mean. Thank you in advance
Update the previous formula with ISERROR() or TYPE() formula
=ISERROR((MATCH("*"&$B2&"*",$A$2:$A$8,0)))

I'm so sorry. I didn't quite clearly explain what I needed. I need to highlight unique cells in SKU's 2 column that are not in SKU's 1 column (SKU's 2 should not have duplicates in SKU's 1). But even if the match is partial, it should not be tractaded (shouldn't be highlighted) as unique, for me ABC1239-3 or ABC1239-4 is the same product (SKU) as ABC1239. In other words, I need the opposite of a function that highlights the duplicate values with a partial match.

=ISERROR((MATCH("*"&$B2&"*",$A$2:$A$8,0)))- seems like this is what I need, thank you!
You just need to use MATCH() formula with wild card.
=MATCH("*"&SKU&"*",SKU-LIST,0)Find attachment.
- Yes, this is almost what I need, but I need the opposite of that. I need to highlight unique cells (the opposite to duplicate cells) that does not match to any other even if the match is partial (if the match is partial, I do not need it to be highlighted as unique, because for me ABC1239-3 or ABC1239-4 is the same product (SKU) as ABC1239, and not unique). Thank's
