    hi there. select the range you want to apply to (say from K2:P17)
    go to Home tab -> Conditional Formatting -> New Rule -> Use a formula to determine which cells to format -> Format values where this formula is true:
    =INDEX($B:$G,MATCH($J3,$A:$A,0),MATCH(K$2,$B$2:$H$2,0))="X"

    Format cells and choose the color desired.

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.
