So, I have a list of data (obviously!). I want to highlight the rows based on which year and which quarter I select. I realise this is purely for aesthetics, but I'm a little OCD with that! The word "Quarter" is in Cell A1. So I've selected 4th quarter and year 2021 in cells B1 and C1 respectively, so row 3,4 and 5 should be highlighted, I'd like to colour entire rows please.
