    Conditional formating based of list of values that grows

    So the box in sheet VALID never changes, but the words does.
    I need the cell-color to format after the list in sheet DATA. The problem is the list in DATA keeps growing, as I add new items?

    Is there anyway to solve this?

    Hi @bebo021999

    Condition is, if the word is in the list - the cell gets the corresponding color.

    You mean CF of C2 in sheet data?

    =COUNTIF(VALID!C:C,C2)>0
