    Match a value and check if it appears within a table and shade if it appears

    Hi

    I am busy learning and applying

    I have a some information that I would like to check in a table if it appears and if it does, the table cell should be shaded yellow.

    After all 60 values have been checked, It will be nice ifa list can be made off the rows in the table that are un shaded.
    i

    In H2 it looks at the value in F2 and checks the table from m2 to u17 and if the value of the cell matches in the table, it must shade the table cell yellw.

    It must check from f2 to f62 and shade all matches.

    After matching, it must list the rows within the table that is not shaded.


    Thank you in anticipation for the help and advice

    Regards

    raj

    Your data is inconsistent.
    Column F is a mixture of text and numbers
    Table M2:U16 (not M2:u17) is also a mixture of text and numbers.

    F4 contains 368 which appears in the table (cell U13)
    But F4 is text and U13 contains a number.

    Sort your data out properly.
    Decide whether you're having text or numbers and stick to it.

    Is 066 the same as 66 ?

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Hi Sir Thank you for pointing out my mistake

    I formatted column F as text and from M2:u16 also as text

    I attach the amended file am not sure if this is done correctly

    I appreciate your time and advice and look forward to a solution if I had met all that you require.

    If the contents/value in column F match es the contents/value within M2:U16, that cell must be shaded yellow.


    Once all is done, it will be nice to make a list of the rows that have no shaded cells/contents or value
