Hi, this has me completely stumped 


I have a number of text values in range $H$5:$H$44
I have a block of cells elsewhere (!$O$4:$V$4) and want any of the values in range 1 to have red text if they match any of the values in this range.
Seems very simple and I have tried a bunch of formulas, but they all either do nothing or apply the formatting to all the values.
The point is to be able to change the values in range 2 without updating the formula.
Additionally, I would like the cells in the 3 following columns from range 1 to follow suit, so if the first becomes red, they all do.
This has turned out to be the toughest thing I have ever tried in excel which is pretty strange to me... thanks much in advance.
