Hi. I am working in Google Sheets (is the formula the same in excel?)
I would like to highlight cell m500 if cell b500 contains the letters umb. I want this to happen automatically no matter if I'm in cell m600 or m7000.
Can you help me please?
Thanks

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
I want it to be the whole range of Column M, Based on the whole range of Column B. Not sure how to write the custom formula.
