Hi. I am working in Google Sheets (is the formula the same in excel?)
I would like to highlight cell m500 if cell b500 contains the letters umb. I want this to happen automatically no matter if I'm in cell m600 or m7000.
Can you help me please?
Thanks

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
I want it to be the whole range of Column M, Based on the whole range of Column B. Not sure how to write the custom formula.
