    Coditional formatting, equal to any value from range

    Hey,
    I need to apply a conditional formatting on a range of cells, where the cell will be formatted, if it is equal to a keyword from a range.

    I tried equal to and clicked the range, but excle tells me its not possible to work with a range...

    Any ideas ?

    Re: Coditional formatting, equal to any value from range

    So you have something like

    a value in A1 and you want to highlight it if the value appears in say B1:B10


    Select A1

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

    =(COUNTIF($B1:B$10,A1)<>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.

    S2 is the value you want to format if it's found in the range D2:R2
