Advanced Conditional Formatting Excel

Copper Contributor

The Excel Sheet 

Dear Network,

I have prepared a Task Prioritization Matrix, I haven't been able to make a conditional formatting which can "Strikethrough" for the completed task: I need your help for at:

 

when the task is marked as "Completed" in Sheet1, Column E, so the task must be strikethrough in Sheet2! column D or F. It is important that the corresponding task is strikethrough independent of the task order in sheet 1.

 

- The excel contains 2 sheets, 1) data and 2) 4 quad matrix that displays the importance and urgency.

- Sheet 1! is conditioned upon [yes & No] furthermore the conditioned upon whether the task is completed or not.

- I have tried: =Sheet1!$E4 = "Completed", but it wasn't the right sequence, because it doesn't contain the conditions [Yes and No in col C & D] nor the complimentary task order col B in Sheet1!

- I have also tried to use =VLOOKUP("Eisenhower Matrix"!$D8;$B$4:$E$38;4;FALSE) = "Completed", it didn't work either.

I hope someone can help out there, thanks in advance.

Happy New Year to all of you.

David

Thanks! Can you explain in detail what you want to format conditionally and when?

Dear Hans,
I have just add the explanation in my post.
Thanks

I don't understand the sentence "Sheet 1! is conditioned upon [yes & No] furthermore the conditioned upon whether the task is completed or not."

But does the attached version do what you want?

If not, please explain why not.

Hi David
I have come across your feed and this is exactly what I am looking for an answer to though my Eisenhower matrix is all in the same sheet. I want to strikethrough a cell when a task is completed. So I am intrigued to know whether you ever had a resolution to your enquiry?
Thanks Karen
