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

To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
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.
