How can I compare a number against a list of numbers
In Excel 2003, I have a row of 7 numbers and wish to find if any of those
numbers is in a vertical list of 24 numbers and to highlight the numbers which are on the vertical list. Have tried writing a macro but have failed! |
Select the range of 24 numbers, go to Format
Conditional Formatting, select "Formula Is", and put: =COUNTIF(rng,INDIRECT("rc",0)) where "rng" is a defined name for the range of 7 numbers. Press the Format button and format as desired.

Nice. Is there a way to do the opposite as far as highlighting the numbers
in the range of 24 that are not in the range of 7 numbers?

Thanks. You can use:
=COUNTIF(rng,INDIRECT("rc",0))=0 Jason -----Original Message----- Nice. Is there a way to do the opposite as far as highlighting the numbers in the range of 24 that are not in the range of 7 numbers?
