Conditional formatting OR option

Please create an OR option for conditional formatting. I have a list of 50 numbers, and I need to highlight if any of them exist in a specific cell. Without an OR option, I have to make 50 rules to accomplish this. Frustrating!

    Hi,

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

    • You could add a so-called helper column with a formula that checks for the different conditions. You'd then reference it in the Conditional Formatting rule.

    Would that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

    Best,

    I very much agree that this would be very helpful. Although the helper column solution may be a workaround, it is an additional complexity. If 'AND' conditions are workable, I believe so should 'OR' conditions.
