    Conditional Formatting Across Two Sheets

    Hello All,

    Here is what I am trying to accomplish.

    I am trying to match a single cell from column A in sheet 1 to any cell in column A in sheet 2. If the strings match, no conditional formatting should occur. But if my cell in sheet one is not found in sheet 2, I want the cell in sheet one to be highlighted as an error.

    Example Here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...it?usp=sharing

    Im not sure where to start? Is this a vlookup? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    In conditional formatting try...

    A1=Match($A$1,Sheet2!$A:$A,0)
    HTH

    Re: Conditional Formatting Across Two Sheets

    the conditional Formatting rule:

    Conditional Formatting > New Rule >
    - Use a formula to determine which cells to format
    - Format values where this formula is true: =AND($A1<>Sheet2!$A:$A)
    - Applies to: =$A$1:$A$10 | Change range accordingly
