Hi,

Good evening Excel Legends,

I am trying to apply conditional formatting to a column in Excel using the "Use a formula to determine which cells to format" feature.

In DATA sheet have a list of names in column A with corresponding reference numbers in column B and type in column C. In DATA sheet I have a longer list of reference numbers in row G4. I want the conditional formatting rule to look up the reference numbers in DATA Sheet against the row G4 and highlight the cell conditional formatting

File attached for your reference. Please assist me.

Excel Facts

Highlight Duplicates
Home, Conditional Formatting, Highlight Cells, Duplicate records, OK to add pink formatting to any duplicates in selected range.

I think you should
Turn-on the macro recorder
Do the copy + paste/transpose manually
Turn-off the macro recorder
So you have a code to automate the process
