    Find products on a spreadsheet

    I've a spreadsheet with over 6000 product lines.
    Each product has its own unique Product ID but may have the same image and be repeated on multiple pages in a catalogue (approx 300 pages in total to cover).

    Is there an easy way for me to filter/highlight any Product IDs that can be found on Page 1?

    Find products by page demo test.xls

    Obviously if I search for 1, it also brings up other numbers including 1 in it (ege 141) etc?

    I hope this makes sense?

    If your pages are sorted from low to high, you can use conditional formatting and pick formula option then enter =LEFT($C1,2) = "1,"

    I thought that however if its only on Page1 then it wont have the comma in char position 2
