    Conditional formatting multiple cells based on multiple cells

    I'm not sure if this is possible or if there's a better way to do it than what I'm currently thinking.

    I have a data set comparing medical orders placed in our system to our staff's individual records of orders placed. e.g.

    date name mr# test 1 ordered test 2 ordered test 3 ordered test 4 ordered
    2/20/2014 jane doe 123456789 2/20/2014 7/5/2014 11/30/2014
    4/1/2014 jane doe 123456789 2/20/2014 7/5/2014 11/30/2014
    3/5/2014 john doe 987654321

    What I would like to do it have a way to automatically find any rows in which "date" is not equal to "test 1 ordered" or "test 2 ordered" or "test 3 ordered" or "test 4 ordered"

    I was thinking conditional formatting would be an easy way to do this, but I haven't had any luck yet. If anyone knows of any other solutions, please let me know.

    Thanks!

    Select A2 (the date)

    Conditional Formatting
    New Rule
    Use a formula to determine...

    =(COUNTIF(D2:G2,"="&A2)=0)

    Format as required
    Use Format painter (paintbrush icon) to copy to other cells

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
