I have the following string checking another sheet to see if an input value exists, when the value exists based on the vlookup, I have it display and "Open" text. I would also like to highlight that cell with a yellow background. Is this doable? I don't quite understand the nesting of different functions.

Code: 
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(C2,'Orders'!$A$1:$B$2662,2,FALSE)),"","OPEN")
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
