hi there,

i have a problem with Excel. can anyone tell me how can I search a text of
cell in sheet2 in the cell range of sheet1.

suppose that the data in cell A5 of Sheet2 is Scott, and on Sheet1 coulmn D
have a list of names, how can I find the Scott in this case. Also I clear one
thing the list of names are unique there is no duplications in it. so there
will be one and only one Scott.

Hi
what do you want to do with the '*found value'

I want to change the color of found text in Sheet1. Like if A name "Scott" is
founded in Sheet1 then its color in sheet 1 will be RED

Hi
- define a name for D1:D100 on sheet 1 (menu 'Insert - Name - Define). e.g.
call this name 'sourcelist'
- select A5 on sheet 2
- goto 'Format - Conditional Format'
- enter the following formula
=COUNTIF(sourcelist,A5)
- choose your format

1. Select A5 on Sheet2.
2. Give it a name (Ctrl+F3) like "myname" (no quotes).
3. Select col. D of Sheet1.
4. Go to Format Conditional Formatting
5. Select "Formula Is" and put:
=COUNTIF($D1,"*"&myname&"*")
6. Press the Format button and format as desired.
