    Search Column for Criteria, Highlight Them Red

    Hi excelhelpforum team,
    Thanks for your help in the past, I have posted a lot.

    We are in Google Sheets (attached), but this can be in Excel, too.

    Goal: search Job Title column for any of 60 terms. Once the term is found, we want to highlight the entire row red. It would be great if a macro can run a check on a list, and highlight everything in Column B which matches that list.

    Let's say the "red list" is Associate Investment Director and Managing Director for column B.

    Thanks again,
    AS

    I have removed the attachment as it appeared to have data of a personal nature. The names, telephone numbers and emails appeared to be real and not dummy values. To protect those individuals privacy, I have removed the attachment. Please upload an attachment that contains dummy info that is representative of your actual data. You may wish to look at this link which will prepare that data for you. https://www.mockaroo.com/

    Hi Alan
    I remember posting yesterday but do not see it here.

    Is it possible to add Wildcards to the list in Column Q? It works very well.

    President, Director of Investment Management
    Chief Investment Officer
    Global Equity Investments
    Founder and Chief Executive Officer

    It would be great if I can do the following:

    **Director**
    **Investment**
    Global Equity Investments
    **Chief Executive Officer**

    Yes we can, however, we need to use the LIKE function and not the EQUAL function.

    Add your items to column Q, but do not include the wildcards as that is part of the VBA code
