Hi,

I am trying to use conditional formatting to formate the cell base on the values of other cells.

I have attached the link to show the sample of the formatting that i am trying to show on my sheet.

Your comments will be very much appreciated and sorry for any inconvenience.

Thanks,

It should change to red, make sure the order you have setup your conditions is as I put above: RED needs to be first.

As I said, you will have to change the range from J5:M5 to J6:M6 if the values are there.

I have tested it exactly as you said and it turns red (MS01 is a date and MS02 is "Issue").

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
