In this stepbystep tutorial, learn to use the MATCH function in Excel to find and match multiple values from two sheets. Once we compare two lists in Excel, we use special conditional formatting formulas to highlight matches. In this video we have a small list of employees in Excel and we want to search for those employees in a larger employee database and when we find a matching employee, we want to highlight the entire row.

The MATCH function will lookup a value from an array on a different sheet and return the number of the row on that sheet where it finds a match. We then wrap the MATCH formula inside ISNUMBER to return either TRUE or FALSE. From there, we can apply a conditional formatting formula to search for "TRUE" and highlight the entire row by using Search and then concatenating the rows you want to highlight. The conditional formatting formula we use in this video is:
=SEARCH("TRUE",$A2&$B2&$C2&$D2&$E2&$F2&$G2)

Next we look at how to use filters to manually highlight the spreadsheet as a way to search and highlight in Excel.
