How do you do conditional formatting to find out if range 2 contains the text value from range 1? For example check for Apple in red apple should highlight it.
I need to compare A3:A6 with C3:C7. The end result should be C3, C4 and C5 highlighted.



A   B            C

1 Range1       Range2

==========================

3 Apple        Red Apple

4 Orange       Green Apple

5 Pear         Orange

6 Watermelon   Banana

7              Kiwi


I tried this formula but it only check B3 against Range2 and skips B4 to B6.



=FIND($B$3:$B$6,C3)>0

          It is possible and I had fun working on this problem but I really wish you had done some work as well - seeing your own effort would have been just as rewarding as solving the problem by myself.



          enter image description here



          The formula to be used with conditional formatting is:
          =NOT(ISERROR(AGGREGATE(15, 6, ROW($A$1:$A$4)/SEARCH($A$1:$A$4,B1), 1)))=TRUE



          It obviously works as a normal, non-array formula too:

          • But we can't use array formula in conditional formatting?

            It's impossible to use one that requires Control-Shift-Enter to work, but it's possible to use one that uses the AGGREGATE function as per my solution. Phew. That was fun to solve.
