    Conditional format different rows based on specific text

    Please see attached document

    What i want to happen is the following:

    If any text in column A matches text in column L...i want the entire row to be red

    for example...column L says CAN and SFA

    that means, i want the entire row of 2 and 4 to be red

    any help?

    Select columns A:L and edit the Rule to "use a formula to determine which cells to format" and then apply formula:

    =MATCH($A1,$L$1:$L$2,0)
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
