Conditional formatting

[render_settings]

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.

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)
