Hi all,

I'm struggling to phrase a conditional formatting formula correctly and i hope someone can help.

I'd like to apply the formatting to column K based on the value on the same row in column D i.e. If D2 = "Complete" then K2 is green...

A lot of the example use a static comparison but i need it to be dynamic and per row...

Any help would be appreciated!
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
Let's say the range you want to format is K2:K100.
Then do the following:

1. Select the Range K2:K100
2. Go to Conditional Formatting and click "New Rule"
3. Select the "Use a formula to determine which cells to format" option
4. Enter the following formula:
Excel Formula:
=$D2="Complete"
5. Select your desired formatting option (green color)
6. Click "OK"
