Conditional Formatting

[cuenca]

Hi

I want to format a cellrange ,based on following condition:

If cell range H14-17 > 0 AND cell J14-17 = 0

I have been trying this, but to no avail

="AND($H$14:$H$16> 0, $J$14:$J$16 = 0)"

Thanks

=AND($H$14:$H$17>0,$J$14:$J$17=0)


You've tried this and it doesn't work?

Copy and paste this into your conditional formatting.

Can you explain what exactly is happening, and maybe a short sample of data with/without the unexpected results?

Yes, I have tried that, and no formatting is being applied. Here is a sample of the data in columns H-J.

I don't think I am understanding what you want highlighted.

Your original formula said:

If the range J14:J17 is equal to 0, and the range H14:H17 is greater than 0 format cells.

This means that every cell would become formatted if the ranges above are true.



I don't see a pattern in what you have highlighted below.

Are you trying to say, for each cell: If value in H>0 and value J=0, highlight (there are ranges where Plates=1 and are highlighted)?

If not, please try to reword your criteria. Possibly show data before the formatting, and then after.

In reality I want to apply formatting to whole column(column J - Plates). But I am simply trying to get one section working first.

I want to higlight instances where there is a forecast > 0(column H), but zero plates in stock(column J).

Thanks

conditional formatting formula for J2:

=AND($H2>0,$J2=0)

Apply your formatting, and hit Enter (accept)

Select cell J2, copy and paste special > Formats to your entire column J

****I just added the absolute references ($H2 and $J2) so you can copy/paste special to any column and based on the contents of H and J, it will be formatted appropriately.

Excellent, thanks a million
