I have a Google Sheets workbook, have lot of data in it in the following way as shown in the picture:
So What I want to do is to highlight all rows in which LDCP > Current (Displayed in green), that is fine when I use conditional formatting and add a formula. But since there are 1000s of such rows, what I want to do is to select all and apply that formula however when I do that it highlights the rows with text such as Leasing Companies and Leather & Tanneries.
Is there a way that I can select the whole sheet and apply a formula which only is applicable where the B column (LDCP) and F Column (Current) consists of numbers. This way only those rows will be highlighted and not the other ones.
Any other kind of advice to do this would be appreciated as well.
Regards,
~K
Try this in your conditional formatting custom formula:
=and($B1>$F1,isnumber($B1))
Range A1:Fnnn where nnn is the end of your sheet.

I would like to highlight every row where the numbers in Columns F and G match. This works perfectly, with text (a-z), as answered in this thread:
Google Sheets Conditional Formatting based on two cells
But, I am not sure how to make it work when it's a number. Any advice appreciated!
Apply custom-formula conditional formatting of =$F1=$G1 to the whole range you wish to affect.
Change the 1's to the row number that is the first row in your selected range. E.g. If applying to A5:H, the formula would be =$F5=$G5.
Right now I am tasked to compare similar data across 3 columns and its respective rows and then highlight them.
I was wondering whether if it is possible to format the spreadsheet so that the cells highlight on their own across their respective rows when similar data is entered into the cells.
I have attached an example in the link provided !
OK select the range you want to format then go to Format | Conditional format | Add new rule and choose the last option (Custom formula is...) under Format cells if...
Enter the following formula (adjusting range to how many rows and columns you have in your data)
=countifs($A$2:$A$18,$A2,$B$2:$B$18,$B2,$C$2:$C$18,$C2)>1
and choose the fill colour that you want.
The formula counts how many rows there are whose first three columns match the first three columns of the current row. If the result is greater than one, there is a duplicate and the current row should be formatted.
I've got a spreadsheet made on Google Sheets that contains 11 sheets, and each sheet is a set of things that I'm considering buying.
Some sets contain the same individual pieces as something else.
For example item A might be on sheet A and sheet D.
I'd like to make some kind of formula to highlight all duplicates, so that when I was looking through the sheet I could see whether buying item A will help me complete more than just the set that I'm looking at. So I can look at a set and if it's mostly green I know there's more value in buying it as almost all of the contents will also go towards another set.
I know how to do it so that they glow if they match on the same sheet.
$A2=$B2
However I'm not sure how to do it across sheets, or how I'd include if statements. As the colour would have to change if it matches any cells in column A on any sheet. They're also not in the same order on different sheets so while item A might be in A3 on sheet A, it might be in A17 on sheet D.
I'm not sure how possible something like this is, but I'd appreciate any help.
Google Sheets does not allow direct references to cells in other sheets in conditional formatting formulas. But this can be circumvented with indirect:
= A2 = indirect("Sheet2!A2")
formats the current cell (A2) if it's the same as the contend of A2 on Sheet2.
But you want to check whether the content is duplicated anywhere in column A of another sheet. This can be done with match: select the column A2:A of the present sheet, and add conditional formatting with custom formula
=match(A2, indirect("Sheet2!A2:A"), 0) > 0
Here match returns either the position of found element (a positive number) or #N/A, and the formula evaluates to True in the former case only.
Although the formula says "A2", it can be applied at once to any range that has A2 as its upper left corner.

I want to use conditional formatting to count the amount of times a name appears in Column H and make the corresponding name in Column B red if it shows up once and crossed out if it shows up twice.
How can I do this? I used COUNTIF but I don't know how to attach the formatting to a specific name/string in Column B so it just formats the next one on the list (I think).
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Clear any conditional formatting from ColumnB, select B3 to the end of your range to format and Format, Conditional formatting..., Format cells if... Custom formula is and
=countif(H:H,B3)=2
with strikethrough. Add another rule (same range) with Custom formula is and
=countif(H:H,B3)=1
with red fill and Done.
I have a spreadsheet that has dates in row 1 and data in the rows below it. I want to highlight the entire column that has a date that is today, or within the last 7 days.
I've been searching and I keep finding examples of how to highlight a row, but not a column.
Please try selecting all cells and: Format - Conditional formatting..., Custom formula is and:
=and(A$1>today()-7,A$1<today()+1)
with highlighting of your choice. Done.
In this case the row is anchored, I agree more usual to anchor ($) the column.
