How to change the filled color if gantt chart displays completed

[cchildaa]

Hi everyone. I want to change filled color automatically based on original conditional formatting if gantt chart displayed "completed". I tried new conditional formatting =isnumber(search("completed", C5), however, it seemed not working out. What could I do?

Try

=isnumber(search("completed", $C5))

@HansVogelaar I tried, but it didnt work out

Could you attach a small sample workbook demonstrating the problem (without sensitive data), or if that is not possible, make it available through OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or similar? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks. Your rule applies to I5:Z5 and its formula is

=AND(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("completed",C5)),AND(ISBLANK(D5)=FALSE, ISBLANK(E5)=FALSE, ISBLANK(F5)=FALSE, ISBLANK(G4)=FALSE, ISBLANK(H5)=FALSE, ISBLANK(I5)=FALSE, ISBLANK(J5)=FALSE, ISBLANK(K5)=FALSE, ISBLANK(L5)=FALSE, ISBLANK(M5)=FALSE, ISBLANK(N5)=FALSE, ISBLANK(O5)=FALSE, ISBLANK(P5)=FALSE, ISBLANK(Q5)=FALSE, ISBLANK(R5)=FALSE, ISBLANK(S5)=FALSE, ISBLANK(T5)=FALSE, ISBLANK(U5)=FALSE))

In the first place, for this to work, ALL column references should be absolute: $C5, $D5, $E5 etc.

In the second place, it requires that ALL cells in C5:U5 are filled (none of them is blank). Is that really what you want?

@HansVogelaar I just wanna change the cell color if C5 displayed “completed”. Like pic 1 changed to pic 2

pic 2

 

However, I don’t know why the above formula not working

@cchildaa 

Change the formula to

=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("completed",$C5))

and apply it to =$I$5:$Z$34

You may want to inspect the rest of the conditional formatting rules.
