I have list of criteria “E104, E105, E107, E123, E124, E127, E131, E142,

The criteria is listed in "A1" How do I get my spreadsheet to notify me if
any of the above criteria is entered into any other part of the spreadsheet?

Would the entry be a cell with nothing but one of those criteria in
it? Because then COUNTIF could work. Although you'd want to move each
criterion to its own cell for ease of use. Could be done on a separate
sheet.

Otherwise probably a macro to search would be best.
