Please review the example file. I have included a few different ways of going about the issue. I think the option on the "Conditional Formatting Example" Worksheet may work better for your needs.
One method uses the match() function to identify if the value is found in one column or the other, while the other method uses native functionality of "Remove Duplicates" in conjunction with conditional formatting that highlights the duplicates.

Hope you're doing well. If you can provide a non-sensitive file with mock up data in it or a screenshot of your scenario it may help to better answer your question. Typically you could use a vlookup() in combination with concatenate() for this sort of thing... or potentially some kind of If() statements.

Hi there Matt,
I appreciate your assistance. I am attaching a non-sensitive mock up file as an example. I need to know as an example find if any data is in col A and not in B. ( same data in both columns? )
Thank you sincerely
Agnieszka
