    String Comparison

    Hello,

    I have a list of product part numbers that have been sold in A1:A6300.

    I have a list of product part numbers that contain a certain feature listed in B1:B500

    I want to Highlight all the product part numbers that have been sold if they match those that contain this certain feature.

    Pretty much I just want to look at certain information about products I have sold that have this certain feature.

    Use conditional formatting.

    If you post a sample workbook I can respond with an example of what I mean. Conditional Formatting is very versatile and useful.
