But in Excel 2010, it does not work in the conditional formatting formula as it returns something like "cannot use array in conditional formatting formula".
Yes, you're right. To work around that you have to use a name. Go to formulas tab > define name. Create a name called Instructors (or whatever you want to call it) which refers to ={"teacher","tutor"}

Then your conditional formatting rule becomes:
=COUNT(SEARCH(Instructors,$A1))=0

Ques 2:
In Column B, I want to know why Cell B2 returns a value error but B4 doesn't? Indeed, I think B2 shouldn't have returned a value error.
In the workbook you attached these cells just have #VALUE! errors - no formulas. So I can't see the original formula / answer this question.
