Conditional Formatting - Highlight data based on a cell input value
Hi,
I'm trying to make a sheet more user friendly. I can't seem to find any existing threads on the topic, so I might be using the wrong keywords to search. Basically, I have a list of individuals. To make it more user friendly, I have an input cell (G1). If I type Bob into G1 I'd like Bob to be highlighted in cells B2:D6.
Can anyone please provide some guidance on how to write the Conditional Formatting formula?
Out of curiosity, how would the formula differ if I wanted to highlight the row that Bob shows up in?
Thanks in advance.
In the attached file i've entered rules for conditional formatting of only the matching cell and the whole row (from column B to column D).
