Hello.


In columns A, B and C (A2:C600) I have a lists of different towns (column A), customer names (column B) and buying price for each customer in column C.


In columns D and E I'm receiving new list (towns and customers).


I'm monitoring top 3 customers from each town (top 3 buying prices) and I would like to mark cells for those top 3 cutomer names (column B) IF those names do not appear on new list (columns D and E).


*note: same name could appear in two different towns

example.

explanation:

- top 3 customers from Town1 are Name4 (25), Name3 (12) and Name1 (9), in new list (columns D and E) customer from top 3 Name3 does not appear so highlight cell containing Name3 in column B (bold text)
- top 3 customers from Town2 are Name11 (28), Name9 (19) and Name6 (11), in new list (columns D and E) customers from top 3 Name11 and Name9 both does not appear so higlight both cells in column B (bold text)

Excel Facts

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
smide, try this....

Edit the following formula and change my 200 row max of ranges to be your expected maximum rows.
Select your desired range in column B and Conditional Formatting > New Rule > Use Formula

Paste in your revised formula and set the bold font format.

Rich (BB code):
  =AND(SUMPRODUCT(($D$2:$D$200&$E$2:$E$200=IF(C2>LARGE((A$2:A$200=A2)*C$2:C$200,4),A2&B2,""))*1) =0,IF(C2>LARGE((A$2:A$200=A2)*C$2:C$200,4),A2&B2,"")>"").

Hope that helps.
