    Highlight specific cells in a column next to a column that contains the same value

    DataSet-where-you-want-to-highlight-rows-where-name-is-Bob.png

    Hello All.

    I wanted to now base on the dataset, how do I highlight the cells only in column D that are next to a cell in Column C that has the same value "Bob"

    So I just want to highlight all of Bob's quantity only

    Thanks,

    Instead of Highlighting, why not filter on Bob.

    Highlight row 1. Go to Data Tab, Select Filter. Click on the drop-down filter in Column C. Unselect all and Select Bob.

    Or you could use conditional format.
    Select D2 to the end of the column > Home tab > Conditional Formatting > New rule > Use a formula >
    =C2="Bob"
    Select the format you want
