I have searched the web for a solution to my question with no luck. Here is my issue:
I have cell A1 with a date (any date), I also have two named ranges. One named Holidays and the other one named Payroll. They are used to identify the company's holidays and the payroll dates.
I need to conditional format cell A1 if the date matches a date in the Holidays range and a date in the Payroll range. Tried unsuccessfully the following formula: =AND(A1=Holidays,A1=Payroll). I have used =OR(A1=Holidays) plus =OR(A1=Payroll). Both work properly. However, I need it to work if both conditions are met not separately. Any help will be appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Holidays and Payroll have more than one date, right? So just A1=Holidays or A1=Payroll fail.

Try this:
=NOT(ISNA(MATCH(A1,Holidays,0)+MATCH(A1,Payroll,0)))
