How do I get excel to Highlight words that have the same first two characters from two different cells
For example [TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]abfgr( this should highlighted since the same first two letters is found in cell B2)[/TD]
[TD]gh( this should highlighted since the same first two letters is found in cell A3)[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]2[/TD]
[TD]bdnm (this should not be highlighted since none had the same first two letters)[/TD]
[TD]ab( this should highlighted since the same first two letters is found in cell A1)[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]3[/TD]
[TD]ghfd( this should highlighted since the same first two letters is found in cell B1)[/TD]
[TD]cb (this should not be highlighted since none had the same first two letters)[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
