Using Excel 365. I have this data pulling from a query. This data will change daily. It's giving me a count of certain data based on the date of entry. I need it to highlight based one of two conditions. One of the conditions I have figured out.
1st Condition: If the number on any date of the month is greater than 1, it needs to highlight that row. I've got this figured out. Unfortunately, I have to create a rule for each day to cover each column separately I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have a conditional formatting rule as =$D1>1 and then I have to create one for each column so =$D2>1 and so on.
It's not ideal to put the dates as rows because the names I have to keep track of is over 500 and growing weekly.
The 2nd condition is the one I need help with.
2nd Condition: I need it to highlight rows if there is a 1 or greater in two of the cells within 4 days or less of each other like in A3. There's a 1 on 3.2.23 and 3.3.23.
If it's possible to combine the 1st condition and the 2nd condition into one rule for each column using the OR function, that's be great.

Yes, it is possible to combine the two conditions into one rule for each column using the OR function. You can use a formula like =OR($D1>1, AND($D1>=1,$D2>=1)) for the first column and then adjust the cell references for each subsequent column.
This formula checks if the value in cell D1 is greater than 1 (first condition) or if both cells D1 and D2 have values greater than or equal to 1 (second condition).
You can then apply this rule to the entire column using the Format Painter or by selecting the entire column and creating a new conditional formatting rule.
I hope this helps!
