I want to highlight a cell if the value is not in the pull-down list

Robert Gallegos

I want to highlight a cell if the value is not in the pull-down list. Possible using formula? Couldn't figure out a way using conditional formula.

Example = cell turns yellow when a value in a cell is not one of the pull-down values.

Hi @Robert Gallegos

I hope you're well and safe!

How big is the list?

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Hi @Robert Gallegos

Hope you are fine, did you have fixed inputs in your pull-down list, if so we can add a helper column to cross-check the value is not in the pull-down list then you can use this column to build your conditional formatting rules.
