Find & Replace problems... at the end of my thread (ha)
Hey guys. I have Excel 2007. I have a spreadsheet with email addresses in it surrounded by other text. I want to automatically highlight in yellow each row containing the words gmail, yahoo, hotmail and so on.
I CTRL-H then enter the info as you see it in the pic attached. When I click Replace All it says "that function is not valid". It works like a charm for every other word I test it with. It's almost interesting in a head-exploding kind of way. Any ideas? |

I want to automatically highlight in yellow each row containing the words gmail, yahoo, hotmail and so on. your strings in column A. Then try in B1: =--(COUNT(FIND({"yahoo","gmail","hotmail"},A1))0) Enlarge the formula for all other searched providers. Select A1:Bn = Conditional Formatting = new Rule = use formula ... and as formula: =$B1=1 and format with your wished back color.
