Excel-根据来自另一个工作表的查找值突出显示行

Question

Hi I have an excel sheet, that has a column called as Company name

in another sheet there is there are couple of look ups.. i need to look up those and highlight them in different colors based on the look up list.

for example, in the above scenario, i need Company A Highligted in oone color and company C in another.

If highlighting is challgeng, i dont mind even having a seperate coloumn next to it that says, if it is a partner or competitor.

i tried the below formula under conditional formatting .. but doesnt work for different colours... it colors everything the same

=NOT(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B1,'Lookup List'!$A$2:$D$200,1,FALSE)))

Answer 1

Please try selecting Company Name column and HOME > Styles - Conditional Formatting, New Rule..., Use a formula to determine which cells to format and Format values where this formula is true: :

=COUNTIF('Lookup List'!$A:$A,B1)  

Format... , select colour Fill (highlight) of your choice, OK , OK .

Then repeat with:

=COUNTIF('Lookup List'!$B:$B,B1)  

with a different fill.

If every entry is one colour or the other then one CF rule is sufficient, with the other colour applied as standard fill.
