I'm trying to have certain cells highlight based on peoples job titles. So, if I have CEO, COO, CFO, etc. in the name manager under "_BusinessOFF" if anyone with those titles comes up I want to have a specific background color come up but when I use the formula: =VLOOKUP($B7,_dashTab,2,FALSE)=_BusinessOFF it does nothing. I don't want to create multiple rules for each job title.
 

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
Unfortunately, CF rules only work with one unique format combo at a time. So if you want a different color for each unique value, then you will need a separate rule for each value/color.

That sucks but thank you for the information
