    Quick way to find and highlight several hundred rows of data/and add data to new column

    Hi

    I tried asking this on Friday and didn't get an answer. I'll try asking again.

    I have a spreadsheet with a column of contract numbers. Some of these contract numbers need to be highlighted in yellow, and a second column inserted with contract numbers they are linked to. The list of contract numbers and contract numbers they are linked to is in a separate spreadsheet with only two columns: Contract Number; Linked Contract Number. I've provided a sample spreadsheet with what I have NOW and then what I WANT the spreadsheet to look like. Basically, the second version needs to have the "Linked Contract Number" inserted into a currently-blank column I've created called "Linked Contract Number," and then have all of the rows with a value in "Linked Contract Number" highlighted. I hope this makes sense; apparently it didn't make sense to people on Friday.

    There are too many values to use "find" and manually type the linked contract # in a new column in a reasonable amount of time.

    Sample spreadsheet attached

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,

    See attached

    In B4 I've used an INDEX(MATCH()) formula to pick up the values from the other range. You'll obviously need to incorporate the name of the other workbook in the formula, e.g

    Formula: copy to clipboard

    and change the range row reference as appropriate.

    Then use the conditional formatting as I've done in B4 to colour the A4:F17 range yellow where appropriate
