Hi @Rajiv_Kokitkar 

You may use conditional formatting with below formula to highlight cells that do not match within two tables:

=IFNA(MATCH(G2,$C$2:$C$8,0),0)

A sample file is also attached for your reference. Please let me know if it works for you.

Thanks

Thank you Tauqeer . This is helpful. Is it possible to highlight cells from column
'key' and 'Toy' which are not matching? 'Drawer' will be reference column in both tables.

If not, I can still live with this solution

Hi @Rajiv_Kokitkar 

Yes, you can highlight the entire row instead of cells. I have modified below formula in attached file.

Hope it works as desired now.

Thanks,

Tauqeer
