Default Cell highlighting question

I need formula to highlight cells based on values contained in another sheet
in the same workbook.

Sheet1
A1 = Product Name
A2:A100 contains unsorted unique values
B1:Q1 contains unsorted unique headings
B2:Q100 have sporadic cells containing a value (e.g. D3, F18, G22, J86...
etc)

Sheet2
A1 = heading - Product Name
A2:A100 contains unsorted unique values
B1:Q1 contains unsorted unique headings
B2:Q100 its irrelevant if any cell contain a value

I need a conditional format in sheet2 B2:Q100 to search in sheet1 B2:Q100
and highlight any cells containing a value

For example:

The value "Tractor" can be found in sheet1 A43 and also in sheet2 A23

The heading "PartNo" can be found in sheet1 D1 and also in sheet2 H1

A formula locates and matches both "Tractor" and "PartNo" in sheet1

Any value found to be in Sheet1 B43:Q43 will then have the relevant cells in
sheet2 B23:Q23 highlighted
