How to carry conditional formatting down from row to row
- Apr 24, 2020
Maybe, it's hard to say without seeing the file or at least screenshots. Please check sample file attached, it works.
One more question, please SergeiBaklan. I would like to again format a column based on another column. When I put a date paid in the other column, I want to highlight my cell to trigger for follow up. Once I put in a yes or n/a in my current cell, I want the highlighting turn turn off. I've tried a number of combinations using If/And combinations with Null/Blank/>0, but nothing I've tried so far is working. Here's my current formula. I'm sure it's something simple to fix it, but I can't quite figure it out. Any help is appreciated!
="IFS($S$3ismm/dd/yy,$V$3Is("yes"OR"n/a"))"

Thanks, SergeiBaklan. Here's my formula: =($S$3>1)*($V$3<>"yes")*($V$3<>"n/a"). This one isn't working this time. Any other ideas? 🙂

If we speak not about only one cell but about the columns, you need to unlock rows references in formula, i.e.
=($S3>1)*($V3<>"yes")*($V3<>"n/a")And we assume your range to which conditional formatting is applied, starts from third row and not from any other one.

Yes, SergeiBaklan,it starts at the third row since I have headers. I have the Applies To set at =$V:$V. Is there something else I should change? Thank you so much.
