=NOT(ISNA(INDEX(RESTCO!$A$2:$A$501,MATCH($B2,RESTCO!$B$2:$B$501,0),1)))An alternative could be this rule for conditional formatting.

Let assume you range is A2:E10000 and formula returns values in column E. Select entire range, add conditional formatting rule with formula =LEN($E2) > 0 and apply Bold format.
- DGMalcolmFeb 12, 2022Iron ContributorThe reference column on the Conduit sheet is R so I opened the Conditional Formatting rule and made the formula: ="LEN($R2)>0". The first row shows '101' which is the correct row from the RESTCO sheet. After applying the rule, nothing gets bolded. What else am I missing?

I've limited my sheet to 100 data rows for now.
