I'm trying to have Sheet 2's cell contents strikethrough if a cell in Sheet 1's checkbox has been selected using conditional formatting. I've been trying the custom formula =INDIRECT("'Sheet1'!A2")=TRUE but that seems to be doing nothing.
Here's a very basic example of what I want. Basically when an item on Sheet 1 is checked off I want the corresponding item on Sheet 2 to strikethrough.

I figured out the issue, since I had another conditional formatting rule on the sheet 2 cell it wasn't working.

How do I create a conditional formatting rule in Google Sheets that changes the colour of a cell based on the text in another cell?
I want to create a rule whereby if I type "tested" in ANY cell, the two following cells in the row change colour automatically to show the testing window.
The sheet is very large so I need to also know how to make this rule apply to all cells, without all formatting relating to the text in just one cell - it always needs to be the cell with the text relating to the following two cells in the row.
Thanks in advance!
I've tried to use the basic conditional formatting, and tried googling, but all answers are based on a number value and don't apply when I try to use the same custom formula.
try:
=A1="tested"
and 2 rules. one for B1:Z and 2nd for C1:Z
I'm looking to make a planner, I would like to find the cell in another sheet called 'Main' that matches my cell A2.
The date would be in row 2 of which some are not dates.
I'm just looking to do conditional formatting based on that cell but can't seem to find out how to get the cell
any help would be welcome...
If you want to highlight the cell in Row 2 of the Main sheet, then you can highlight row 2 in the Main sheet and apply conditional formatting in the Main sheet using this formula:
=A$1=INDIRECT("Sheet1!$A$2")
Please note that the above formula assumes that the sheet containing reference date in A2 is named "Sheet1."
I have created a spreadsheet and I need to have a blank cell highlighted if ever another cell in its row is not blank and am having trouble figuring it out. I know the basics behind conditional formatting in Google Sheets just need some advice.
try like this:
apply to range A1:A
enter custom formula: =($B1<>"")*($A1="")
logic: if B cell is not blank and A cell is blank then A cell gets highlighted
I have a Google Sheets table of names and statistics that go along with said names. I'm trying to use a dropdown menu on a specific cell so that when I select a specific name from the dropdown, all of the cells that start with the same name will be highlighted.
Assuming the dropdown is in B2. Please select entire sheet and: Format > Conditional formatting..., Format cells if... Custom formula is and:
=regexmatch(A1,"^"&$B$2)
with highlighting of your choice and Done.
Since for all of the cells that start with the same name this could be slow.
custom formula: =IF(I1=H$4, 1)
I have a google sheets document where I have cells A1:Z1. In AA1, I have a value total. If that value is greater than 5, I would like A1:Z1 to be highlighted in red. I then want to do this for every row down the sheet. Could somebody help be out with this? I tried using other answers here, but I can't get it to work.
First of all take a look at Use conditional formatting rules in Google Sheets.
On your computer, open a spreadsheet in Google Sheets.
Select the cells you want to apply format rules to (A1:Z1).
Click Format and then Conditional formatting. A toolbar will open to the right.
Under the "Format cells if" drop-down menu, click Custom formula is. If there's already a rule, click it or Add new rule > and then Custom formula is.
On custom formula put this =SUM(A1:Z1) > 5
Choose other formatting properties.
Click Done.
The result will be this.
