Hi all,
I currently have a large data range which I will simplify as A1:F6 as shown below.
In the G column I have a list of cell addresses calculated from numerous previous formulas referring to specific cells in the aforementioned data range within the same row.
I am looking for a way to use conditional formatting to simply outline the cell addresses listed in the G column.
I cannot simply write out each cell address in the 'Applies to' section of conditional formatting as this spreadsheet will serve as a template and needs to automatically highlight the cells in the G column. In addition to this there is such a large list that to simply write each one out would be a large waste of time.
I have tried to concatenate all the cells in the G column and then use this in the 'Applies to', however this simply lists the very first cell in the G column (E1 in the below example).
It is also worth noting that I cannot do multiple conditional formats as this will result in over 300 separate instances and as a template I am trying to keep the spreadsheet as sharp as possible
So, any ideas?
