Conditional Formatting with Formulas - Help PLease?! :)
- I would highlight B2 to B200 and then apply the following formula
=AND( B2<TODAY(), OR(F2="PENDING", F2="IN QUERY") )
Thank you! I have just tried this and it seems to be looking at both columns for the answer now which is great but instead of highlighting just cell 'B1' (if PENDING or IN QUERY is present in F1) it is highlighting the whole of column B. Any ideas of how to adjust so that it only highlights the cell?
Thanks again

Hi
Can you attach a screenshot of what you mean?
Hi Wyn,
I've added a snapshot of my spreadsheet below.My goal is for dates in column B (INV DUE DATE) to be highlighted red but only if the answer in column F (STATUS) reads PENDING or IN QUERY. If column F reads PAID I do not want the formatting added to B. I hope that makes sense?
When adding the conditional formatting to columb B, i start by selecting the whole column, then opening the conditional formatting options to apply the formula - is this correct?
Sorry if i'm not explaining this well, i'm not the best with formulas containing more than one function! haha
I really appreicate your help.
Thanks
Jen
- I would highlight B2 to B200 and then apply the following formula
=AND( B2<TODAY(), OR(F2="PENDING", F2="IN QUERY") )Hi there! I'm having a similar problem. I have a list of personnel who each have one of a few different levels of training. Their names are listed in 1 column and their level in another. Then I have another table on a different sheet with all of their names under the positions where they work, and they may be in multiple positions. I would like the names in the position table to turn either green, yellow, or red based on the level of training they've had as listed on the other worksheet with the two columns. For example, when Bob Smith has had ICS 300 training, I want every cell with his name to turn green in the big table. How do I go about doing this. I can get the color change when I stay within the two columns by doing =$B2=300, but I cannot do it across worksheets. Even when I moved the two columns to the same sheet as the big table, I could not figure out a formula that highlighted the cells I wanted. It would highlight select ones randomly, or go across a few rows, but the level of training and the names did not correlate correctly. Thank you for you help.
