I have a problem with Google Sheets Highlighting custom function and could use your help.

I have 2 sheets - ORIGINAL & RESULTS

RESULTS - contain the long list of company names in column A
ORIGINAL - contains list of PEOPLE who work for companies

ORIGINAL - has conditional formatting for all cells where CUSTOM FORMULA is =match(A2;indirect("RESULTS!A1:A");0)

The goal was for cells in Sheet ORIGINAL to be highlighted if they contain company names from Sheet RESULTS & Column A


Can someone then tell me why the situation, like in the picture below, happens?

Obviously, I want cell C2045 to be highlighted TOO as it contains the company name "Alliance Technology Polska," too, and "Alliance Technology Polska" was listed in the RESULTS Sheet in Column A

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
