    highlight cells containing specific textg and preceding cells

    Hello,

    I want to apply a conditional formatting rule or formula that will search an entire spreadsheet for any cells that contain the text "V/C" and I want it to highlight that cell as well as the 3 preceding cells within that same row. Can anyone help me with this?

    TIA
