How to Highlight set of cells in Tableau text table - tableau-desktop

enter image description here
I want to highlight some cells like shown in the image, but unable to do in the data having filters applied. Tried using creating set of cells to be highlighted & then adding it on color card in Marks pane, but it is highlighting full rows. Any help is appreciated.
It is not value based formatting. Highlighted cell location would be same for any filters those are forecasted values from some calculations outside Tableau

Conditional formatting is not working if all in the selected range are blank

I trying to apply conditional formatting on selected cells (A2:C2) with condition that if all aren't filled all selected cells must be in color red, once they all are filled then the color should be white.
I am using Google sheets, formula used is
You may try this custom formula within CF
=COLUMNS($A2:$C2)-COUNTBLANK($A2:$C2)<>COLUMNS($A2:$C2)

Google Sheets Conditional Formatting - highlight row to last filled value

I have a timetable style sheet that has values filled in rows on particular dates. I would like to be able to automatically have the row background colour change up to the last filled value, so you can easily scan down the sheet visually to see longest time since etc.
Image below to illustrate what I mean: the dark backgrounds I have created manually, this is what I would like to auto fill using conditional formatting:
Something like this would do:
=AND(A1 = "", COUNTA(B1:1) > 0)
1st condition to color only empty cells, 2nd to color if there's something further.
Try the following under Custom formula is
=COLUMN(A1)<INDEX(MAX(COLUMN(A1:1)*(--(A1:1<>""))))

Google Sheets Conditional Formatting based on the cell directly NEXT to, across the entire row

I am looking to show color changes based on decreasing values. I want to add conditional formatting to a row (row 9) based on the cell directly prior (B9<C9 I want to be green, C9>D9 I want to be red). I want an entire row to be conditionally formatted to show growth/decline based on the cell directly before. Is this possible? How can I do so? enter image description hereI have the formulas I want to use, but I don't know how to accurate apply them to the entire Row 9 (as of now I'm manually inputting the 3 custom conditions on each cell)
You can use the following Custom Formulas from Range C9:9. Feel free to interchange the background color that will fit your needs.
For Green (Increasing), =C9>OFFSET(C9,0,-1)
For Red (Decreasing), =C9<OFFSET(C9,0,-1)
For Yellow (Same), =C9=OFFSET(C9,0,-1)
OFFSET() lets you shift the rows/columns based on a reference cell.
In this custom formulas, I get the previous cell value referenced to the current cell by setting the offset_columns to -1.

Google Sheets conditional formatting doesn't apply to the whole range

I am trying to conditionally format a range of cells based on the value of a different cell. I have selected the range of cells, chosen "custom formula" and entered =reference cell="reference value". (see screenshot) this should make the whole range of cells purple if cell G4 equals the letter M. The problem is only the top-left cell in the range is changing color, not the whole range.
Also, I want to drag this block of cells down to repeat it, and for the conditional formatting to fill down appropriately (i.e. to reference cell G21 when I fill downwards and so on.) How do I do that?
you need to lock it down with $
try:
=$G$4="M"
or:
=G$4="M"

Using conditional formatting to shade alternating groups of cells of variable size

I am facing an issue where I need to shade a row of cells either blue or orange based on if the user has check-marked the "swap" cell.
Essentially, the rows will start blue and continue to be blue.
When the user presses the checkmark in the Swap column, all rows after that point will now be orange.
Once again, if the user presses the checkmark in the Swap column (below the above checkmarks), the rows will go back to being blue from that point on.
This will alternate forever, as demonstrated in this image.
I am using some conditional formatting code that uses a "helper" column that is hidden. If the value is 1, then the row is coloured orange. If the value is 0, it is coloured blue. The problem is I don't know how to "search" for groups of checkmarks. Each checkmark will only colour the individual row it is in.
The helper column has this code: =MOD(IF(ROW()=2,0,IF(D25=D24,E24, E24+1)), 2)
The D column is where the checkmarks are, and begins at D24.
The E column is my helper column and begins at E24.
I can scrap this whole setup if someone can guide me into how to set this up.
I need it to essentially "change" the values of every row below a checkmark, until it finds another checkmark, and do the reverse so that the colouring can properly format.
Assuming 0:00 is in A1, please select ColumnsA:C and: (i) fill all with 'standard' fill blue and (ii) Format > Conditional formatting..., Format cells if... Custom formula is and:
=isodd(COUNTIF($C$1:$C1,TRUE))
with brown highlighting.
