I am working on a Custom Formula using Google Sheet's conditional formatting feature. When 2 things are TRUE, I want to change background and font color somehow.
I use the following statement to determine it =AND(F5:F10>30% ,$B$1 =True)
This works well and is tested independently, row by row.
Yet, when applied to the table only some columns are highlighted, not all
Below is a formula I am using
try like this:
=($F5>30%)*($B$1=TRUE)

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 have a table that looks like this:
some text 14.09.2022
some text 15.09.2022
some text 23.10.2022
And I need to conditionally format each cell in the second column if the date in that cell is during the current week.
I have tried different solutions from the Internet[^1], but neither works for me: each time Google Sheets says my formulas are wrong. Any help?
[^1]: For example, I have tried to adopt the formula found here.
Try below custom formula in CF rule.
=WEEKNUM($C2)=WEEKNUM(TODAY())
I am trying to highlight cells which have been manually entered by using the formulatext() function. However, at the moment this is highlighting all the cells that have a different outcome (from if statements) to the first cell. Can this be changed?
(If curious my exact formula at the moment is =formulatext(E4)<>if(B4= "","",if(left(CN4,1)<>"-",if(or(D4="A",D4="B"),if(AF4<>"","DONE",CN4),if(AF4<>"","DONE",CN4)),if(or(D4="A",D4="B"),if(AF4<>"","DONE","over 48h"),if(AF4<>"","DONE","over 36h")))), the formula inside is working so no need to change it)

I hope that link works.
I have some formulas in a Google Sheet cell. If I restructure the formula, like by adding new lines or spaces, for legibility, it undoes my changes. Is there a way to stop this? It seems to only happen if the cell had the formula before. If I put the formula in a new cell it doesn't do that.
This is on Enterprise G-Suite so I cannot share an example sheet.
Blank cell:
Add a structured formula:
Now if I edit the structure it does not retain the changes. In the example below, I removed a new line after TRUE.
Before hitting enter:
After hitting enter:
Also, if I add the same formula to a new/different cell, regardless of how I structure it, it'll restructure to match the one from the other cell.
Google Sheets remembers forming even upon deletion/insertion in new cell. the only way how to achieve what you ask is to introduce a change that directly affects the output calculation. if the output calculation remains the same after the change in structure/formatting then your only possible option is to use lowercase for formula. in other words, if you change your IF to if or If or iF it will register it as new change and therefore the formating will be not reverted to the previous existing state.
the less preferable but working solution would be to wrap it in some useless formula. for example:
=QUERY(IF(TRUE, "hello", "bye"))
I am using the follow filter
=FILTER(A2:A,MATCH(A2:A,'sheet 1'!A2:A,0))
Within a custom formula but it's not responding.
If I use
=FILTER(A2:A,MATCH(A2:A,I2:I,0))
It works fine.
Here is a link to a test sheet.
When I add or remove letters to the first sheet the column under the Letters in the second sheet just bellow the orange respond accordingly. I cannot get the filter view to work with the same formula.
Use the following for your filter view formula:
=match(A2:A, indirect("Sheet1!a1:a5"), 0)
Alas, it works only at the moment of applying the filter for the 1st time. Changing the values in Sheet1!a1:a5 will not automatically cause the filter to refresh. The only way to do that is via a =FILTER() formula, not via the UI filter view.
Check your name of the sheet being referenced. Unless you changed the name it should be Sheet1!A2:A.
