I'm trying to change the cell colour based on if the text is found in another list, but I'm struggling.
Attached is a simplified version of the data I'm working with.
Essentially, I want the names in column B to be either red or yellow depending on which 1A or 2B list they appear in.
Any help would be much appreciated.

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
You can use =COUNTIF($D$2:$D$7,B2) for yellow color and =COUNTIF($E$2:$E$7,B2) for red color.

I've done that, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly.
The D "yellow" column formula seems to be reading the red E column. And then E column formula is just random!
