For example, I have a data range, now, I want to highlight the rows which product is KTE and order is greater than 100 as following screenshot shown. How could you solve this job in Excel as quickly as you can?

I have a list of postcodes (zipcodes) on a separate tab in the same workbook. How do I check if a postcode is in the separate data set before I highlight rows in my table?
