In Google Sheets, I have tried multiple ways to get the following to occur. I need the conditional formula to be IF(C3:C1000 contain text,and E2:E1000 is missing a date, then E2:E100 needs to be highlighted).
Apply to range:
E2:E1003
Format Rules:
Format cells if...
Custom Formula is
IF($C2:$C1003="text",$E2:$E1003="empty")
Formatting Style
Highlight in Yellow
I've tried rewriting that text multiple ways and nothing
And I can't get it to highlight any of the cells in Column E that are empty.
try like this:
=IF((LEN(C3))*(E3=""), 1)

Populating a dynamic event calendar from a separate sheet and want the titles of each event to be bold font.
Conditional formatting works if I am comparing to a single string or cell with text, but there are multiple titles that would appear in each column.
Need to use "Text is exactly" or a custom formula, where if any of the cells in column D for example match any of the titles from column E of another sheet, make them bold.
A separate sheet can only be accessed via the "INDIRECT" function, but even when I pull the list of titles onto the same sheet, it does not work.
Have tried the built in "Text is exactly", also tried custom formulas using TEXT, EXACT, IF, etc. but can't seem to get it to work.
Tried custom formula:
=$E$8:$E$52=TEXT($E$55,$E$56) This only matches the first instance (E8 to E55)
Format range E8:E52 with this conditional formatting custom formula rule:
=match(E8, E$55:E$56, 0)
To get the titles from the other sheet, use something like this:
=match(E8, indirect("Sheet2!A2:A"), 0)
So I have 3 sheets in excel, 1 with some info that I need to use, and 2 "maps", one of the maps has the codes from Sheet1 in it, the other one has names but other than that the text they are identical.
I'll call the first sheet (with the info) InfoSheet, the map with the codes Map1, and the map with the names Map2.
Now I need the cells in Map2 to format and change cell color if the code for that cell from Map1 is also present in InfoSheet, if not to keep the same color,
I managed to do this by using a New rule under conditional formatting, "Use a formula to determine which cells to format" and used the formula:
=NOT(ISNA(VLOOKUP('Map1'!$N$61,InfoSheet!$E:$E,1,FALSE))), then selected a color and everything works just fine...
Now I need to do the same but I google sheets and I can't figure it out how to add the same conditional formatting with that rule, cause from what I tried the formula isn't working.
Since you refer to a different tab/sheet you have to use the INDIRECT function.
Please try the following formula
=NOT(ISNA(VLOOKUP(INDIRECT("Map1!$N$61"),INDIRECT("InfoSheet!$E:$E"),1,FALSE)))
Functions used:
INDIRECT
I have a range which spans the columns A to AV and I need to highlight all cells in that range that contain text from a list of elements placed at AY20:AY27.
I know how to highlight matches between two lists. However, I cannot find a working solution applicable for a whole range.
I have also tried to use the "Contains text" option which works if I take each element of the list individually to create a conditional formatting rule. The problem with that method is that if one of the elements of the list is empty then all the range will be highlighted. And the list is manually typed and won't always fill AY20:AY27.
Is there any way to make this conditional formatting work in any way?
Thanks!
Please try clearing formatting from and selecting ColumnsA:AV and Format, Conditional formatting..., Format cells if... Custom formula is and:
=countif($AY$20:$AY$27,A1)
Then select formatting of choice and Done.
I'm trying to add a custom formula to a cell range if its text value is exactly as a text in a specific cell.
This is my formula:
"=EXACT(B9,'חישובים לסיכום'!B13)"
and this is my screen shot:
Although the texts are the same, it doesn't work.
Google spreadsheets custom formulas won't reference other sheets directly, but the workaround is to use INDIRECT, which takes a cell reference as a string, so try this:
=INDIRECT("Sheetname!B13")=B9
I have a sheet where I would like to turn a row a color based on the value of two cells. I already have conditional formatting based on one cell of the cells I want to use for the two cell formatting.
I am using =AND($J:$J="Cancel",$L:$L="Yes") for the two cell formatting but it doesnt seem to work. Not sure if the first one =$J:$J="Cancel" is negating the formatting of the other or if if my formula is just bad.
Any advice would be appreciated.
if the trick is that you want the whole row to be colored that way, then all you need to modify is the "range" to apply it too, so you enter something like the start column and then just give it a row number as the second half of the range, without the column argument: A1:10001
That exact formula you listed =AND($J:$J="Cancel",$L:$L="Yes") worked for me when using the "custom formula" option:
