I have a list of names in column A
I have a list of names in column B determined by formula.
I was the specific name to turn green in column A if it is present anywhere in column B.
e.g.
A - 10 names, only 3 are "drivers"
B - I type driver names and other names as I 'fill the cars' with people. I want the name in column A to turn green when I type it in column B so I know they've been sorted.
Working in google docs
Click on cell A1
. Then choose Conditional Formatting -> New Rule from the menu.
Choose the option "Use a formula to determine which cells to format".
Type the following formula into the box:
= (SUMPRODUCT((A1=B:B)+0))>0
Click the "Format..." button to set the color to green.
Click OK.
Under "Applies to", type in your range of cells in column A
where you want the conditional formatting to apply.
See below example that shows this conditional formatting applied to cells A1
to A4
. Notice how any name in column A
that appears anywhere in column B
is green.
