conditional formatting: highlight cell if the text is contained in a range
It seems like I should be able to use a simple "Find" formula but it's not working.
Here's a sample sheet: https://docs.google. com/spreadsheets/d/ 1IyNGXg3ogHrIzsf_ H2eonIHPpOULicG-T5ejPfWFJcU/ edit#gid=1917666163
On Sheet1, I have a list of names. On Sheet2, I have a list of "phrases".
I'd like Sheet1, Column A cells to be highlighted if the contents appear in any of the phrases on Sheet2. I'm looking for "partial matches", not exact matches.
I thought I could use something simple, like =find(A1,Sheet2!$A:$A) but that gives me an invalid formula error.
Can anyone help?
