Hi,

Type the 5 stings (pharmacy, drug etc.) in I7:I11. Now while on cell E5 go
to Format Conditional formatting, select Formula is and input the
following formula

=ISERROR(MATCH($E5,$I$7:$I$11,0))

Hello,
I have many records that include pharmacy, drug, rx, script, or shoppe in
them. I need a conditional format to highlight these cells in red when
the
cells do NOT satisfy the pharmacy, drug, rx, script, or shoppe criteria.
Can
you assist with the formula?

Thanks.
