Do you know that while recording macros in excel you can use the relative reference based recording so that you can use your macro anywhere and the references would be adjusted automatically?
Yes!
I have learned this yesterday and I thought it is pretty cool.
Here is how you can make your macro VBA code references relative:
When you select “record new macro” from menu > tools > macros, excel shows a very little macro recording toolbar with a start button and another button. That another button is the one we use to toggle between relative and absolute references in macro code.
See this:

And the code generated by relative and absolute references is shown here:

Maybe I missed it, but this method doesn't include data from James that isn't contained in Sara's data.
I added a new sheet, and named the ranges for Sara and James.
Maybe something like:
B2: =SORT(UNIQUE(VSTACK(SaraCust, JamesCust)))
C2: =XLOOKUP(B2#,SaraCust,SaraPaid,"Missing")
D2: =XLOOKUP(B2#,JamesCust, JamesPaid,"Missing")
E2: =IF(ISERROR(C2#+D2#),"Missing",IF(C2#=D2#,"Yes","No"))
Then we can still do similar conditional formatting. But this will pull in data missing from Sara's sheet as well.
