    Thanks for looking into it, ron2k_1! Appreciate it.

    What does your version do? I tried changing text or deleting text in E3 - nothing changed to borders.

    Borders should be highlighted in a color ONLY when text in E3 matches any text entered in B3:B10. Otherwise borders should remain normal (no color, no lines etc)

    Re: Conditional formatting - highlight border based on text match

    Which borders?

    My suggestion highlights borders in B3:B10 as you change your selection in E3.

    Do you mean the big orange border on E3:H7? You want that border to only appear when E3 equals to any value in B3:B10?

    "Do you mean the big orange border on E3:H7? You want that border to only appear when E3 equals to any value in B3:B10?"

    That is correct, sorry for a confusion.
