Hello,

I need a help on Conditional formatting:

i need to highlight the cells in the range A2:E5 (Sheet 1) which has the same value in Sheet 2 Column A.



I am not able to select the reference range in Conditional formatting

Help me. Thank you in advance

Hi matheshphy,

Please use this formula in "Conditional Format":

=AND(A2<>"", NOT(ISERROR(MATCH(A2,Sheet2!$A:$A,0))))

I have uploaded the sample file below for your help:
