Variable Highlighting
I would like to enter a series of values in a horizontal range of cells. Then
I would like the numbers array (about 20rows x 40col) that match the input to highlight themselves. Thanks in advance Phil |

Assume your horiz range of values are within A1:D1,
and your 20R x 40C range is within A3:AN22 Select A3:AN22 (with A3 active), then apply conditional formatting using Formula is: =COUNTIF($A$1:$D$1,A3) Format to taste, OK out.

What version of Excel are you using? This will work in versions prior to
Excel 2007. Assume the input range is A1:E1 The table range is A5:E10 Select the range A5:E10 with A5 being the active cell. The active cell is the one that doesn't have a blueish color. Goto the menu FormatConditional Formatting Formula Is: =AND(A5<"",OR(A5=$A$1:$E$1)) Click the Format button Select the Patterns tab Selet a fill color of your choice OK out -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "PEGWINN" wrote in message ...
