Highlighting cells with a certain text
I have a list of items (ex: car, blender, bowl, chair, table, etc) and it
gets updated everyday. I want to highlight 20 of these items, and make sure that they, and the rows they are in, are automatically highlighted when I update the file. How can I do this? Conditional data formatting only works if you have 3 or less conditions. Thank you, Johanna |

Put the list of items you want to highlight in a column on another sheet. Give the column a name, for example, CFList. Then, in your conditional format, refer to the CFList (Conditional Formatting List) =COUNTIF(CFList,$A4)0 and set the format you want, for example, font = red Regards Trevor "ladybugathena" wrote in message ...
