Hi,

I'm hoping this is possible (and relatively easy) but couldn't find any examples on Google.

I want to use the format cells containing specific text conditional formatting rule, but instead of typing a specific word/text I want it to lookup a range of words on another sheet. The range might change later on so it needs to be dynamic.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Baker
 

Excel Facts

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
For example, if CF is applied to cell A1:

=COUNTIF(Sheet2!A1:A10,A1)>0

If A1 is found in any of the cells A1:A10 on Sheet2, then the will be formatted.
