    Hi
    I'm assuming you want to change just the corresponding cells on the same row to turn orange, not the whole column

    select the first cells in columns I and K where you want to apply conditional formatting, then select

    home > conditional formatting > manage rules > new rule > use a formula ...


    then type this in the formula

    =$H1="cowell"

    (adjust the row number to the row you are checking)

    you can copy this to other cells where you want the conditional format to apply
