Help please. I have two sheets, one contains a column that has a list of common errors, the other has a column from a log file that has all the errors. I need something that will check through all the errors and return a count of lines that do NOT contain any text from the common errors. In other words lines that have unknown errors. Additionally it would be useful to highlight the lines in all the errors to show unrecognized errors in red. Any ideas?

I need a conditional formatting formula that includes color highlights at 150 vehicle hour intervals (green, yellow & red). The spreadsheet covers the span of a month as we enter data on a daily basis. The cells are running totals of the day prior but when the interval of 150 is reached, we would like to see a color highlight indicator for action.

I am trying to sync. 2 large files and find differences between the 2. I purchased XL compair, but I am having trouble using that even to quickly highlight differences. One problem seems to be that one of the files is an older version of XL and seems to store values differently so I am having problems even getting the two files sorted in similar ways.
