Hi
I want to know if Vlookup or Xlookup can return to me the cell location or highlight the cell for me. I am just experimenting Vlookup function. Here in the example below, if the user enter a name and it was a match then Vlookup will highlight the name in the column for example? Is that possible? Thank you very much.

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
You would use conditional formatting for that.
