Description:

Returns text with every occurrence of each value in searchValues in text changed to the specified color.

The searchValues parameter accepts a list of multiple values, separated by carriage returns.

Requires the HiliteSingle() custom function.

The HiliteMulti() function is NOT case-sensitive. Occurrences of searchValues are matched regardless of case, and returned in their original case.

Note: these functions are not guaranteed or supported by BrianDunning.com. Please contact the individual developer with any questions or problems.

This is my Custom Function and I want to edit it

Discuss:

Doesn't work: none of the values are highlighted... Is this a known issue?

Thanks
