    Need to match and highlight cells with similar (not same) data

    Hello,

    I wonder if anybody out there will get me out of this hole...

    2 columns
    column A contains several lines of text
    column B contains one line of text

    I want to search if any of the values on column B occur in column A; if so, highlight such cell(s)

    Example spreadsheet is attached.

    Many thanks in advance.
