    Conditional Formatting on column based on multiple Text criteria

    Hi!

    Wondering the rule I can use that will format a cell yellow if it matches specific account codes.

    Eg. Column D list account codes
    Need to highlight those that match S3C00, DIV00, WAY00

    Tried to use Format only cells that contain but unsure how to add more than one criteria.

    Thanks,
    R

    Managed to figure it out using a ref list

    =OR($D8='TOP 20'!$A$2:$B$22)

    If it's just those three use

    =ISNUMBER(SEARCH(D8,"S3C00 DIV00 WAY00"))

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Thank you but I have 20 total.

    Now my issue is being able to filter by color with grouped rows. Doesn't seem to be working as it's opening all hidden row.

    Create a list of the specific account codes (looks like you have done, your formula will work fine as well)

    Use

    =NOT(ISERR(VLOOKUP(D8,Sheet2!A$1:A$1000,1,0)))

    where Sheet2!A1:A1000 is your list

    Not sure about filtering

    Appreciate the other work around.
    I think I may have actually figured out both LOL I can Sort but I can't filter.
    Thanks again.
