Hello

Please I need help with what formula to use for the below logic:

1. I usually insert quotation numbers of quotations that are not yet approved by clients - just to keep track (below image - 1)

2. when approved, I insert the quotation details and the other project details on the other sheet, the project list (below image - 2)

3. The formatting I want is for the row in the first sheet (image -1) to be highlighted in green when the quotation number in this sheet (column B) is found in the 2nd sheet's (image -2) column L

In other words, if I insert "SOF-2021-Q-001" in column L of the 2nd sheet, I want row 17 in the first sheet to be highlighted in green

Can someone help please?


Thank you in advance
