    Conditional Formatting Multiple Text Values

    I have one worksheet in a workbook with multiple names in one column... IE: Starting at Column A8 through A100

    I have 14 names of people that I have placed in Column A on a separate worksheet within the workbook. What is need to do is format each cell that shows one of the 14 names in it. I know I can do this individually as it works, just don't no how to include all 14 names...

    EXAMPLE: Column A If the Employee NAME in Column A matches one of the 14 MANAGER names in Column A on the sheet called MGR then highlight it light blue.

    I want to do this with conditional formatting.

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    =countif(manager range,a1) eg
    use a formula to determine =COUNTIF(sheet2!$G$1:$G$14,A1) well i think you can use other sheets in 2010 otherwise you will have to create a named range for the managers
