Hi All I have been struggling with this one. I can do it if its a duplicate but not with different criteria. Basically I need to get a formula, preferably using conditional format ( so it colours the rows) I want it highlighting if as example Mr Jones had bread, doughnuts, and cake in the same month, but sometimes mr jones might have biscuits and bread in the same month ( would like different colour for each criteria) Is this impossible? I can do certain aspects of it but when I try and do it all together it doesn't work- example below- Thanks so much for your time
