This is an awesome tip, Amy! Thank you!
You’re welcome, Chassidy!
Another awesome tip! Thank you. I needed this one about 2 weeks ago.
Interesting Amy. One of my team uses conditional formatting all the time whereas I prefer to use a VLOOKUP – I guess looking at your example, the conditional formatting is going to be easier and less intrusive, as with VLOOKUP, I would apply this to each corresponding cell in the next available column (C) and would be doing something like =VLOOKUP(A2,SECONDLIST,1,FALSE) which would return the corrpesponding value if there is one, or have an error message (of sorts) if there isn’t. This is a bit cumbersome and I suspect there is a lot of eye rolling when I try and force people to do it.
This is great for paralegals who are not in lit support. Something we can do by ourselves without having to wait for someone to do it for us.
Thank you.
Thanks. My thoughts exactly, Karen. I am a firm believer in sharing knowledge so other members of the legal team so they can be self-sufficient.
