Here's the first one for you, apply the cf rule to $C$6:$C$44 or your actual range if larger.

=AND(C$3<>"",OR($C6=$C$3,$C$3=""),OR($D6=$D$3,$D$3=""),OR($E6=$E$3,$E$3=""),OR($F6=$F$3,$F$3=""))

Change the columns in the formula as needed for the other 2 sets.

I've done 2 for what you appear to want. You should be able to extend to the third section.

Here's the first one for you, apply the cf rule to $C$6:$C$44 or your actual range if larger.

=AND(C$3<>"",OR($C6=$C$3,$C$3=""),OR($D6=$D$3,$D$3=""),OR($E6=$E$3,$E$3=""),OR($F6=$F$3,$F$3=""))

Change the columns in the formula as needed for the other 2 sets.

jasonb75, as you explain your formula worked fine, but it is more interesting when I applied formula selecting cell C6:F44, it highlights 1 in the column if I put 1 in C3, then if I put 2 in the D3 it highlight 2 in the column D and disappear extra 1's from column C and show only 1&2 highlighted cells and when keep extending E3 & F3 does the same so far "your single formula is doing multiple job highlights any 1, 2, 3 or 4 as required" </SPAN></SPAN>I like the formula </SPAN></SPAN>

Thank you so much for your help</SPAN></SPAN>

Kind Regards,</SPAN></SPAN>

I've done 2 for what you appear to want. You should be able to extend to the third section.

Conditional formatting

Cell
Nr.: / Condition
Format

C6
1. / Formula is =$C6&$D6=$C$3&$D$3
Abc

D6
1. / Formula is =$C6&$D6=$C$3&$D$3
Abc

H6
1. / Formula is =$H6&$I6&$J6=$H$3&$I$3&$J$3
Abc

I6
1. / Formula is =$H6&$I6&$J6=$H$3&$I$3&$J$3
Abc

J6
1. / Formula is =$H6&$I6&$J6=$H$3&$I$3&$J$3
Abc

Peter_SSs, formulas are working perfect for both the options as you provide, and for 3rd one it was easy I just change the range and added one more column it worked fine!</SPAN></SPAN>

Thank you so much for your help</SPAN></SPAN>
