cells in a column that include any of the prefixes. It looks something like this:

Column to Highlight:
A2956-XYZ
222537-3527
B2987-ABC
A8176XY

Prefixes:
B2987
22537
A9766
B3278

In this example, I want to highlight 222537-3527 and B2987-ABC because they include one of the prefixes. I'm thinking conditional formatting would be good for this, but I'm stumped on how to look at one of the values in the "Column to Search" and compare against each prefix of the entire list of prefixes.

I was doing a vlookup to search the Column to Highlight with a prefix value [vlookup(prefix+"*", column_to_highlight, ....], but this obviously only returns one cell from the column to highlight (whereas each prefix may have several hits in the column to highlight) and isn't ideal.

Any ideas? You will earn my eternal respect.
