    Countif function combined with conditional formatting

    Here's my formula: =COUNTIF(G2:G3366, "*client*" & "*name*")

    Is there a way to add conditional formatting to this. For example to say, in all cells G2 thru G3366, where there is text "client" and "name", fill the cell color as blue?

    You could use the COUNTIF in CF, e.g.

    =COUNTIF(G2,"*client*name*")

    or this one....

    =SEARCH("client*name",G2)
