for cell F5, use conditional formatting with formula such as:<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41810076-1"><span>=VLOOKUP($F5,$C$4:$C$19,1,FALSE)=$F5</span>
</code></pre>
and then copy the conditional formatting down or set its range in the wizard dialog.<br />

<div>
The best way is to create a dynamic named range which will contain your list using the formula given below....<br />
<b>List:</b><br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41810101-1"><span>=OFFSET(Hoja1!$C$4,,,COUNTA(Hoja1!$C$4:$C$100))</span>
</code></pre>
And then select the whole column F and make a New Rule of conditional formatting using the formula given below....<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41810101-2"><span>=COUNTIF(List,F1)&gt;0</span>
</code></pre>

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.

Microsoft Excel

Office Productivity refers both to the act of being productive and efficient in an office or professional environment, as well as the software applications used to "produce" information. This includes the development of professional skills, creating work processes, and almost any program used to create or modify a document, image, audio or video clip. However, business application suites such as Microsoft Office, which include word processing, spreadsheet and presentation programs, are typically called productivity software, as contrasted with a "utility program," such as a file manager, which is used to organize files and folders on the computer. Many office- and business-oriented groups of programs are organized into suites.
