Default Highlight the cell/row if particular name comes..

Hi,

This is what I would like to achieve,

There will be sheet full of address details and in that I want to
highlight the cells with some colour if the particular list(i.e.list
of 10 particular area names like Area1,Area2....Area10) of area names
present along with the door # and Street name.

The challenge is that the area names will be mixed with street name
ect., in the same cell.

I can guess that this is possible with macro but my knowledge in that
is ZERO..

Pls help on this...

Can you give us some examples of what your data looks like, and
details of what columns you use etc.

Hi,

Actually the work book will have a shift wise rostered to be given to
the transport providers.

separate sheets were maintained for every shifts(28sheets) and there
will be details of the resource and his/her address ect.,

The address details will mostly end up in C column. In address column
the area details will be there (in below e.g. I typed the area in caps
just to differentiate it from other words). Out of 100 areas(approx)
there is 10-15 Areas that I want the end user to notice right away as
it has to be given some spl attention.


A B C
1 Gender NAME ADDRESS
2 M Johnson Rajendran 1P Station view Apartments No.30 Railway Border
Road,KODAMBAKKAM
3 F Jeyalakshmi Ramachandran 16/2 sreenath flats postal colony 2nd
street WEST MAMBALAM



Hope I'm bit clear this time...



Regards,

Vinu...
