  1. Hello,

    I am trying to highlight a row if a column (J) says finished. I used =$J2=Finished and changed the formating to standard green. For some reason this doesn't work. Why?

  2. Hello,
    I am hoping someone can help me ... I have been looking for hours on how to solve this issue but cannot find the answer. I have tried using the examples given but I still cannot get the conditional formatting to work.
    My spreadsheet has column A with an issue date and column B with a contractual date. The contractual date is 35 days out in the future from the issue date. I want the contractual date cell to turn blue when the contractual date is (issue date +30) and stay blue until date 35 when I would like it to change to red.
    eg. Issue date is Jan 1/22 (Column A) and the contractual date is Feb 4/22 (Column B). I would like Column B to turn blue on Jan 31st and stay blue until Feb 4th and then turn red from Feb 4th going forward. I hope that makes sense. I have tried what I think should work but it turns the cell red right away. Not sure what to do to get this spreadsheet looking like I want to. I am hoping you can give me direction. Thank you

    1. Hello!
      Create two conditional formatting rules with the desired colors for these conditions

      =((B1-A1) > 29)*((B1-A1) < 35)
      =(B1-A1) > 34

      This should solve your task.

  3. Hello,

    I'm trying to set 3 scale colors to highlight how much money from the budget has been spent until now.
    I want cell K2 to change color (K2 is corresponding to the remaining balance).
    I want it to be based on the percentage or percentile of cell D3 (D3 is corresponding to the total assigned amount of money for the year).
    I want the color change to be divided into:
    - Green, when remaining amount is between 100% - 66%
    - Yellow, when remaining amount is between 65% - 33%
    - Red, when remaining amount is between 32% - 0%

    I do not find the correct way to add D3 as base reference amount cell.

    Thank you in advance!!

  4. Hello,

    I am trying to format the cells of a column based on different words that the cells might contain.
    The following rule works great:
    Format only cells that contain>Specific text>Containing>="text1"

    But if i try to add multiple text strings, then it does not highlight anything. I used the following condition:
    =OR("text1";"text2).

    Note that a cell can either contain "text1" or "text2" but not both.

    1. Hello!
      You can create two rules. There is a separate rule for each word. For multiple conditions, also use a conditional formatting formula. For instance,

      =OR(A1="text1",A1="text2")

      Read the second paragraph in the article above.

  5. Hello,

    Are you able to assist with a google sheets conditional formatting question?

    If so: my spreadsheet has column B, which contains the driver names for the market I am working in, and column C, which contains the starting location numbers for each driver. I would like to apply formatting to column B to change the color for the driver based on the value in column C for that driver. I have tried several formulas and they aren't working for me. Some of the formulas I've tried are C2="5859" or $C2="5859" or C$2="5859". Applied to range B1:B1032.

  6. Hello,

    I'm trying to have a conditional format that hides certain cells if a specific word is in another cell, Now the rule works for 4 of the 5 words but the word Supervisor is doesn't like, However, If I use a drop-down list even fewer words will allow the format but if I then type the same word over the top of that dropdown list word it works. I am very confused.

    The formula I am using is =$C4="Supervisor" This would then block out C4 and U4, the word is then changed to Store Manager, Barista Etc.

    Any ideas?

    Many Thanks

    Martin

    1. Hi!
      I am not sure I fully understand what you mean. Conditional formatting cannot hide cells or change their content. Are you using a filter to hide some values? What is the dropdown used for? Explain your problem more precisely.

  7. Question, I want to see if its possible to do something,

    Im doing a mileage spreadsheet for my bussiness, I want to know if this is possible. If the driver wrote that its L ( loaded) I want to add those mileages at the end of the document, and if its E (empty) then add it in another box. like weekly he is typing the mileage and then it just add up the ones that are L in a box and the ones that says E in another.

  8. Hi, compliments of the season to you, and thank you for your help in advance. My apologies if you've answered this elsewhere,

    I have a reference cell with a number value that is the average ( =AVERAGE(X:Y) ) of the same cells I wish to apply conditional formatting to. The conditional formatting rules I am trying to apply to the cells are;

    Format only cells with: Cell Value | less than | =reference cell

    Format only cells with: Cell Value | greater than or equal to | =reference cell

    The result I am trying to achieve is for cells with a value 'less than' the reference cell to fill with light green, and those 'greater than or equal to' fill with a light red. Some cells fill correctly, some don't. Those that don't fill correctly are the other (wrong) colour, or have no colour at all.

    All cells (including the reference cell) are formatted as numbers with no decimal places. All numbers in the data cells are whole numbers. If I click on any of the data cells, the number displays in the formula bar correctly. If I check the rules for any of the cells that are filled incorrectly, both rules are correct. I would love to get this working properly as it will reveal some very interesting information.

    Many thanks in advance for your help,
    Paul.

    1. Hi!
      The information you provided is not enough to understand your case and give you any advice. I can’t guess what values you have painted incorrectly, what values are written in these cells and what exact formula is used.

  9. Hi, I have a workbook where I keep record of our orders. I want to put in a conditional format to check if column F & G is empty and make Column C Red Bold. I have tried the following formulas
    =OR(ISBLANK($F2),ISBLANK($G2))
    =OR($F2=0),$G2=0))
    =OR(if($F2=0,1),($G2=0,1))
    I also used the and in front as well as changed the 0 to "", and I did your troubleshooting but the problem remain. Some calculate correctly i.e. if either cell F or G has information in it does not change the format, and some if both is empty it change the format. But for most of these it does not do the conditional formatting correctly. I have - for the empty cells - gone and select them and pressed delete as well to ensure there is nothing in the cells.

    1. Hello!
      Unfortunately, I was unable to reproduce your error in my workbook. Try this formula:

      =OR($F2="",$G2="")

      I hope it’ll be helpful.

  10. Hello, Hope you are all well. I need help in what formula to use in conditional formatting. I would like that a cell will display an N/A value if the word/text in another cell is Enrolled. I use the =IF($G6="Enrolled","N/A"). The formula works in a cell but if I apply it as a formula in the conditional formatting it does not work. Kindly help. Thank you very much.

    1. Hello!
      Unfortunately, conditional formatting can change the format of a cell, but it cannot change the value in a cell. Your task can be accomplished with a VBA macro.

  11. I want to highlight cells in a column that have repeated words in it. How do I do this?

  12. Hi I would like to:
    Search every cell in column B for the string "supplier"
    Where the string "supplier" is found, I want to format the corresponding cell in column K to be curreny and red text. Can someone help with this?
    Thanks

  13. Sir if the column A has name
    A
    shailesh singh
    column b has name
    B
    shailesh

    I want to search column B in column A and remove from A

    SO column A should have only name as singh

    Pls guide me

    1. Hello!
      Please try the following formula in column C:

      =SUBSTITUTE(A1,B1,"")

      You can change the text in column A only with a VBA macro.

      I hope my advice will help you solve your task.

  14. Qns. I have an Excel sheet containing 2 columns of various number. I would like to change the first column cell format based on second column value in such way, if first column number second column number then cell fill with Green color and with other rows I would like to apply the same format. I have tried many times and many ways but I could not do. This condition is applied only one row. If I would like to apply it on other rows it takes the value of first row's second column value. How can I apply the whole formatting on other rows(Change the color based on their containing second column's value.) If anybody have the answer please share.

  15. How do I highlight ONLY the single LOWEST number in a column? B3 to B20 has a value in each cell and if there are 2 or more numbers that match then nothing should be highlighted. I want to copy this formula to the next 17 columns beside the "B" column.

    1. Hi!
      For column A, you can use a conditional formatting formula like this:

      =(COUNTIF($A$1:$A$100,MIN($A$1:$A$100))=1)*(MIN($A$1:$A$100)=A1)

  16. How can I conditionally format for if B = Yes, then A, B, C, and D should be green fill?

    1. Hi!
      Your question is not clear. Clarify - are A, B, C, and D columns or individual cells in these columns?

      1. Thank you. If column B is Yes or Y, then I would like Columns A, B, C, and D to green fill. If column B is No or N, I would like Columns A, B, C, and D to red fill.

        1. Thank you so much for doing this.
          I would like all the individual cells in those columns to turn green.

          For instance B 2 is Y then I want A, B, C, D, 2 to be green, If B3 is N, I want A, B, C, D 3 to be red

          1. Hi!
            You can read all the recommendations you need in the article above. For range A2:D2 use the formula =B2="Y".

  17. hi
    i want D18 only to generate its specific formula if text is entered in B18?
    if not, to leave D18 blank

    any help would be apprieciated
    thanks!

  18. I there a log of errors generated by custom formatting formula? The formula below is not working but I don't see any error messages.

    =AND(MOD(ROW(),3)=1,INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN(),TRUE,TRUE))<0)

    The intent is that if the current row number is 4,7,10,13... and the value in the current cell is less than zero, the cell should have a red fill colour. There is a specific range applied and correctly shown (moving border) during editing of the format. I have tested the "indirect" technique in a single cell and that seem to work but the conditional formatting is not. Any help very much appreciated

    1. Hello!
      The conditional formatting formula must contain cell references in the range to be formatted. For example, for the range D1:H1000, you can use the formula

      =AND(MOD(ROW(D1),3)=1,D1<0)

      This formula will be applied to every cell in the selected range.
      Hope I understood your question correctly.

      1. Bingo. Thanks a ton.

  19. Hello again Alexander!

    How do I copy formula(s) and format(s) into another sheet without copy the data. Let's say I'm making a monthly income report for August and I want to make another sheet for September, I want to copy all formulas and the cell format and whatnot. Hope you answer my question.

  20. I would love some assistance if possible. I work at a retail shop [with our logo being red circles *wink*) and we're beginning to train and hire seasonal employees. Due to the situation with COVID-19 and local guidelines, we are asking all employees to remain at home if any of the following symptoms occur.

    Due to this, we have had many sick calls and have been manually using excel to mark sick calls + coloring specific shift rotations in our training roster to note where we need coverage for specific rotations. I honestly don't have time each day to manually go through this each morning + mid-day so I would love if someone could help.

    Our spreadsheet is starts with each trainee's name (or if they call out sick, I replace it with the word "Sick Call" for our HR Department to go through and follow up later with) and then I manually go through each rotation job for that persons shift.

    For example, a trainee could be training for fulfillment so I could be rotating them around into different departments such as "Men's Apparel," "Women's Intimates," "Kids Apparel," "Sports Equipment". Some rotation jobs are longer than others however what I would love to happen is if I mark someone's name "Sick Call," for the spreadsheet to automatically or conditionally color their specific rotation jobs in a different color so that I know that I will need to put someone there. I don't want the entire row to be colored, only those specific rotation jobs if the person is a "sick call."

    I haven't been able to figure out if this is a conditional format formula or if it's something else. Would love some help to save some time and my sanity.

  21. Hope you can help. Have a column of budgeted cost figures. Want the to add new columns monthly with the actual costs. If the actual cost, say C3, is greater than the budgeted cost, B3, I want the cell to be light red with dark red numbers and appear as a negative dollar amount. But if C3 is less than B3, I want that cell to be light green with dark green numbers and appear as a positive dollar value. I am using Microsoft Excel for Mac version 16.42.

    Thank you so much!!!

  22. Thanks for your assistance.

    I have cell A1 with "yes" I want cell A2 to be red if Cell A1 is "yes" --- this I can do this no problem.

    BUT I need the same for a few 100 rows, as soon as I drag all the rows only refer to A1.

    How can I do it, without going into each formula of each row to change it as this will take forever, so that
    A1 refers to A2
    B1 refers to B2
    C1 refers to C2
    etc

    Thanks
    Ed.

      1. Hi,

        Thanks for the assist, I made a mistake in my post Sorry!

        A1 refers to B1
        A2 refers to B2 etc

        I found the answer in your link.

        I selected B1 to B100 as this is where the result must be and did the following;

        In the "New Formatting Rule" dialog window that opens, choose the option "Use a formula to determine which cells to format" and enter the following formula in the "Format values where this formula is true" field: =$A1="yes"

        Thanks once again.
        Ed

  23. Hello! I want to know if its possible to put a specific series of number (let's say 276-203-707-000) on cell C, and when I input that number a specific word will appear on cell E?

    Hoping for a reply.

    Thanks!

    1. Hello!
      This can be done using the IF function
      For example,

      =IF(C1="276-203-707-000","Hello","")

      If this is not what you wanted, please describe the problem in more detail.

  24. I want to create an 'indicator cell' that changes background color based on conditions met by other cells elsewhere in the sheet. For example:- I want C4 to have red background if K12 is less than H5, and R2 is equal to zero. Is it possible? Please give instructions.

  25. Hi,
    Thank you for this blog! Great it is!
    I wanted to know for this situation
    My column C contains a Value with Data validation and when i select the same, My column G should change according to the input in the Column C

    Appreciate your help

    1. Hi!
      I’m sorry but your task is not entirely clear to me. For me to be able to help you better, please describe your task in more detail.

  26. How can i change color of one cell using a Value from a different cell? i'm really confused i was trying all sorts of formulas in conditional format but nothing worked out for me.

  27. Hi,
    I am trying to get a Column of cells to indicate anytime a new entry has been made and for the color to be disabled once any user has seen the entries (new or updates) made? Can you help tell me the formula to use to set up this conditional formatting?

    1. Hello!
      Please check out this article to learn how to insert dates in Excel - add today's date.
      Unfortunately, Excel cannot determine the moment when the user just looked at the data.

  28. sir,

    i have a small dought in excel i want to enter a number in one cell in that particular cell only that value divide by 10. is this possible.

  29. Hai,

    If i want to highlight the separate cell if last cell number is bigger than second last, second last bigger than third last, if third last is bigger than fourth last etc...

    eg. 1 2 3 4 5 6 then highlight cell A20
    5 4 3 6 4 5 then cell shouldn't highlight

    Thanks in advance

  30. I have a concatenation formula that comines two cells into one, the result of the concatenation I want to colour the cell depending on the value, i.e. if the cell equals 1A, 1B, 1C, 2A, 3A etc then colour the cell green, or if its 2B, 3B etc then colour the cell yellow.

    I was using the formula within conditional formatting to say if cell value is equal to =OR("1A", "1B", "1C") but its not working...

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!

  31. Hi! I am difficulty in solve price sheet
    If price of any product is changed in later dates for same product it should highlight which formula i have to use?

  32. Great work, thanks for your effort. I think I will come back here more often.

  33. Hii,
    i want information to set conditional format. if B2<A2 THEN B2 get automatically and aslo apply for that entire row. if value B2=A2 then no changes. How to apply it for full Coloum ? pleaes help

  34. Hi, maybe you can help me with
    I have one row with the predefined conditional formatting scale colors (this row contains numbers)
    A row above contains text, and I want it to have the same colors as the numbers row.
    How I can do that without using VBA?
    Regards,

    1. Hello!
      I recommend creating another conditional formatting rule. Select the range to format, starting with the first line of text. For example, line 10 contains text, line 11 contains numbers. Select the $10:$17 row range.
      Write down the conditional formatting formula, for example, =$E11>100. If E11 contains the number 150, then line 10 will be filled in, and so on.
      I hope I answered your question.

      1. Thank you very much - one thing - the numbers in the number row, each is colored with different color - and I want the text line the same - if the number cell changes the color then the text cell above also changes the color :)

        1. Hello!
          You create two conditional formatting rules. The first one already exists for a row with numbers. The second rule for the row above is in the way I suggested.

  35. Hi
    I have conditional formatted data to "fill with a colour" :
    "=$D2>$E2" for range "specify =$E2:$E2000
    Formula — =$D2>$E2"
    I need the E column to be filled if greater than the D column which worked for spreadsheet one however I applied the same conditional formatting formula to another Excel S/S with a larger data selection and Excel has filled extra cells that should not have been filled or correspond to the formula and were not greater than the formula cell.
    What else is not working

    1. Hi,
      If column E is greater than D, then you need to apply the conditional formatting formula
      =$E2>$D2
      This formula can only be applied to these columns.
      Where did you apply it and what is S/S - I do not understand.

  36. I am trying to create a conditioning format formula that highlights a row when a due date reaches within 5 days of the current date. I am using excel 365.

  37. HI SIR,

    I AM TRYING TO DO CONDITIONAL FORMATTING FOR HIGHLIGHTING A ROW WHEN CELL VALUE (CELL 'L') EQUAL TO ZERO,I WANT TO APPLY IT TO ALL WORK SHEET HOW CAN I DO THAT

    1. Hello!
      In your Excel spreadsheet, select the cells you want to format. If this is the entire worksheet, then select it entirely, and then create a formatting rule.

  38. I am trying to use formulas and conditional formatting to have a spreadsheet automatically populate names based off of another name in separate column.
    For instance, If I am assigned a task and my name is in column B, I want column G to automatically populate my supervisor/manager's name. I have multiple personnel in this spreadsheet, but once I figure out the formula, I can change the names. I keep having to look up supervisors in a directory, so I would love if my spreadsheet did it automatically for repeat entries!
    Oh, also, if multiple personnel have the same supervisor, I am assuming I can have it look up multiple names by separating with a comma and quotes around the names using OR?

    1. Hello!
      If column N contains the names of employees, and column M contains their supervisors, then you can use this VLOOKUP formula in column G:

      =VLOOKUP($B2, $M$2:$N$100, 2, FALSE)

      You can learn more about VLOOKUP function in this article on our blog.
      I hope this will help, otherwise please do not hesitate to contact me anytime.

  39. I have a set of up to 12 5-digit random numbers in a column starting at B3.
    For each random number, the 5 digits are entered in columns starting at B3, and the individual digits are entered into a row starting at C3. So for B3=13579, C3=1, E3=3, G3=5, I3=7 & K3=9.

    When I enter a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 digit number into the row starting at C2, I want the conditional formatting to highlight a cell when a match is made. So for the example above, 13579, if I entered G2=5 & I2=7, I expect G3 & I3 to highlight.

    I created the rule in C3 for the 1 (one) digit, =AND($C$2=1,$C3=$C$2), and used “copy” “paste special” “format” to copy the formatting down to the remaining 11 columns. The conditional formula works great for C3 & C4, but the copied format in C5-C14 is =AND($C$2=1,$C4=$C$2). The $C4 never increments! But, the formatting rule indicates it applies to C3-C14.

    I cannot figure out the correct way to "copy." All help would be appreciated. This is for playing Kakura so I need 100+ “tables” that I don’t want to write a conditional formula for each cell!!

    I can send the spreadsheet if a visual would help.

    Thanks

    1. Hello!
      If you want to create conditional formatting for cells C3:C14, then first select this range, and then create formatting with the rule

      =AND($C$2=1,$C3=$C$2)

      No need to copy conditional formatting.
      I hope I answered your question. If something is still unclear, please feel free to ask.

  40. I have a calander which vlookups leave types from another tab. Although it inserts the whole leave name such as 'Recreational Leave'. I would like it to change the result to a shorter name and change colour. I have set up conditional formatting as follows:
    Equal to "Recreational Leave"
    Formatted the background to blue as well as in the number tab I have selected custom and written "REC".

    The conditional formatting has changed the cell to blue but it hasn't changed the word to REC.

    I have tried typing Recreational Leave into the cell to see if it the formula causing the error but it still doesn't change the word to REC. In another cell I have a drop down list (1-12) and have used conditional formatting to change the number from 1 to JAN, 2 to FEB etc by using the technique mentioned above and it worked fine.

    1. Hello!
      With conditional formatting, you can show Jan instead of 1. To do this, you need to change the cell format. The cell will write 1, but it will show Jan. Conditional formatting does not change the value in the cell. Therefore, you can change the color, but you cannot replace 'Recreational Leave' with REC.

  41. I HAVE A TABLE IN EXCELL I WILL FINDE CELLS WHIT COLOER FILL SPECIFIED AND VALUE ROW AND COLUMN HEDER THAT CELLS WRITE ON CELLS ONATHER WITH VBA CODE IS SOME ONE HELPE ME FOR

  42. Hi
    I have conditional formatted data with "=$D2>$E2" for range "=$E:$E"
    However excel has filled cells that do not correspond to the formulae?
    What have I done wrong?
    I need the E column to be filled if greater than the D column.

    1. Hello!
      If you are formatting the entire column $E:$E, then the condition must start at the first cell. Use the formula

      =$D1>$E1

      Hope this is what you need.

      1. Hi
        The first cell is the title for the row which is why row 2 is used.

        1. Hi,
          Then do not use the entire column =$E:$E in the link, but specify =$E2:$E2000
          Formula — =$D2>$E2

          I hope I answered your question.

          1. Hi Alexander
            Thank you, changing the entire column to a specific range seems to have worked.
            Is there a reason why this messed up the Conditional Formatting?

            1. Hello!
              If you select the entire column E for conditional formatting, then the format is applied to all cells starting with E1. The formatting rule should be written on the first cell of this range. You formatted cell E1 with the data in cell E2. Cell E2 was formatted based on the value of E3. Etc.

              1. I applied the same conditional formatting formula to another Excel S/S with a larger data selection and Excel has filled extra cells that should not have been as were not greater than the formula cell. What else is not working as I now have the correct formula to put on the conditional formatting but this yields incorrect results?

  43. I'm going insane, when i insert conditional formatting based on the value of another cell the formula works in some cells and not others for no reason I'm not sure why.

    =$BE2BD2

    Please show me which formula I can use to highlight a red colour on an actual result that is below the minimum specification or above the maximum spec and green on a value that is greater or equal to the minimum or less or equal to the maximum specification.

    Thank you.

  46. Please help: value is any alphanumeric combination in Excel
    If A & B have no values: display as Red
    If A & B both have values: display as Red
    If A only has value: display as Green
    If B only has value: display as Grey
    Needed for a 3D component!

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks in advance

    Best regards

    1. Hello!
      Use formulas for conditional formatting:

      =AND(ISBLANK(A1),ISBLANK(B1))
      =AND(NOT(ISBLANK(A1)),NOT(ISBLANK(B1)))
      =AND(NOT(ISBLANK(A1)),ISBLANK(B1))
      =AND(NOT(ISBLANK(A1)),ISBLANK(B1))

      I hope I answered your question.

    1. Hello!
      Please use the following formula:

      ="P1-"&SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-","",1)

      Replace "-" with nothing using the SUBSTITUTE function.
