Conditional Formatting
I'm sure I need conditional formatting, but I need some help. I have a column
of names in one spreadsheet and another column of names in a second spreadsheet and I need to know if a name appears in both columns in both spreadsheets. Thanks |

Conditional Formatting
Hi,
Conditional formatting is the answer but you can't refer to another sheet directly so assuming your data are in column A put this in b1 and drag down to the same length as column A =COUNTIF(Sheet2!A$1:$A$20,A1)0 Select column A data then Format|Conditional format - Formula is and enter the formula =B1=TRUE Pick a colour - OK You can hide the column with all the TRUE/False values in Mike "Nigel" wrote: I'm sure I need conditional formatting, but I need some help.
