Conditional formatting
Hello,
Basically, I am trying to color code my 2 columns based on text rules but I'm wondering if there was a function/formula for what I'm trying to accomplish. Both columns will have True or False and if a row contains both True in each column, I want to color both green. If the row contains both False, then I want to color it both red. If the row contains True then False or vice-versa, then I want to color both cells yellow. What is the easiest way to do this? Thank you!
Let's say the values in C2:D100.
Select this range. The active cell in the selection should be in the top row, i.e. C2 or D2.
On the Home tab of the ribbon, click Conditional Formatting > New Rule...
Select 'Use a formula to determine which cells to format'.
Enter the formula=AND($C2=TRUE, $D2=TRUE)
Click Format...
Activate the Fill tab.
Select green as highlight color.
Click OK, then click OK again.Repeat these steps, but with the formula
=AND($C2=FALSE, $D2=FALSE)
and red.
Finally, repeat them again with the formula
=OR(AND($C2=TRUE, $D2=FALSE), AND($C2=FALSE, $D2=TRUE))
and yellow.
- thank you so much!
Thanks for your PM.
Try these formulas:
=COUNTIF($F2:$G2,"*put*")=2
=COUNTIF($F2:$G2,"*call*")=2
=AND(COUNTIF($F2:$G2,"*put*")=1,COUNTIF($F2:$G2,"*call*")=1)
