    How to highlight a row based on matching values from separate columns

    Appreciate if anyone here could help me out on what formula to use for my conditional formatting.
    What I want to happen is when all of the criterias on both table matches (ie. Client Name, Job Number, Amount), I want the row in the Outstanding table to be highlighted.
    See attached file for the data and the expected results.
    Thank you!

    hi nickyme. select the range you want to apply to (say from J3:N7)
    go to Home -> Conditional Formatting -> New Rule -> Use a formula to determine which cells to format -> Format values where this formula is true:
    =COUNTIFS($D$4:$D$9,$K4,$E$4:$E$9,$L4,$G$4:$G$9,$N4)

    format the color accordingly
