I want an cell to be highlighted if it matches any entry in a certain list. I was thinking I could do it with a MATCH formula, but I can't get it to work. Any help would be awesome!

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.

Hi.

Conditional formatting with formula :

=ISNUMBER(MATCH(YourHighlightedCell, YourList, 0))

applied to YourHighlightedCell

Use a formula:

Code:
=ISNUMBER(MATCH([cell],[range],0))

[cell] is the cell that you're highlighting
#VALUE!
