Columns A and E need to be checked against each other. If the name appears in both list, it should be highlighted. Column B and Column E need to be checked against each other. But first, the zero needs to be removed behind each field in Column B. If Column E and Column B has a number that appear in each list. It should be hightlighted in another color.

Can you hide a single cell to prevent it from printing? I can't just hide a row or column, I need to be able to print an entire sheet but hide the content of a single cell in the middle of it in the printed form but still be able to view it while working on it (so changing the font color to white to hide it is not the answer I'm looking for).

Hello. I have a table with numbers from 1-100. I want to highlight the multiples 7 for instance.. I am able to use the conditional format for one cell ie if =mod($A$1,7)=0 the fill with a color eg yellow. I am not able to use the format painter to copy this to the whole table in a meaningful way. So I would like the painted format in A5 to be =mod($A$5,7)=0 so the effect of the formatting is due to its own value not of the cell it was copied from ie mod($A$1,7)=0. I could do each cell individually, but that would be cumbersome. I assume there is a better way. Thanks in advance. Alok .
