Conditional formatting

how can you add a contional format to a work book if colums are different status

for example

Column K status is "converted" i would like the whole line to be green... (done that)

but if Column K is "converted" AND Column L is "invoiced" i would like the colour to change from green to red...


conditonal format formual using already

formual is
=INDIRECT("K"&ROW())="Converted"

thanks been working on this for months :)

RE: Conditional formatting

Hi Rachael

Thank you for your question

You need to create 2 rules, one for when column K = converted and when Column L does not equal invoiced, and a second were column K equals converted and column k equals invoiced.

Do do this select the first row of your data and set the following 2 formating rules as formulas

=AND($K15="Converted",$L15<>"Invoiced")

=AND($K15="Converted",$L15="Invoiced")

Note the cell reference has absolute columns and relative rows.

You can then copy the formatting down by holding down the right mouse button whilst hovering over the bottom right corner of the range, dragging down, letting go of the mouse and selecting copy formatting from the resulting context menu.

I have uploaded a workbook as an example

Hope this helps

Regards

Formulas

Hi Stephen

wondered if you could help me i am currently using
=COUNTIF('Apr Activity'!$C$7:$AA$65536,"Admin")

formula to count and area of cells. however i now need to count those cell ONLY IF my first row "accountable" = ASR..

i think it would be easyier if i sent you a copy of what i am trying to do but can attach a file for some reason...

so imagine i have four small tables side by side this represents the weeks in the month.

each table has 5 colums in

Accountable /Date/Clien/action/Qualifying information & Next steps.

so i am telling my formula to read the WHOLE month and if its says admin count them up and give me a number. i now want the same but only if my first row of each table Accountable says ASR.. but i stil only want one figure i dont want 4 for each month..

Thanks
