    Good one Scott ... I use conditional formatting a lot but didn't know about the option to select the entire spreadsheet ... Nice ... Thanks again!

      You're very welcome, Bill. Yes, I like having this option available depending on what I'm trying to zero in on.

    Thank you- easy to follow you. What formula can I use when I want only empty cells in a column of the whole sheet highlighted?

  • @ChaseGilesRealtor
    @ChaseGilesRealtor Před 6 měsíci +1

    What if I want to have the entire row be colored, but only based on one columns Color Scale? Im looking to have a scale from 1-10 and the rows then also be highlighted according to that one column.

    Hi. I wonder how you can have an open set of fields that you want to be flexible with, and change the individual cell's format, but a group of fields that will individually change to those formats when you put in just the word?
    To explain my self. I have a list that could say and formatted --
    unassigned - white field, regular black text
    start - white field, bold black text
    in progress - blue field, bold yellow text
    80% complete - green field, bold yellow text
    etc...
    and the list grid will have the single fields change to those when I just enter the word.
    but I also want to add a differenct word and format whenever I want, that will change in the grid's individual field too.

    Very helpful. Thank you! I'm wondering about more complex combinations of conditions, like if the value in B3 is true AND the the value in B2 is "PT" then color the row green.

    • @Simpletivity
      @Simpletivity  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Sure thing. To do this, use the following custom formula:
      =AND(B3=TRUE, B2="PT")
      Explanation:
      AND() checks if multiple conditions are true simultaneously.
      B3=TRUE checks if the value in cell B3 is the boolean value TRUE.
      B2="PT" checks if the value in cell B2 is the text "PT".

    Well done -- but -- it doesn't tell me how a condition in say column B can set its resulting color in the same Row, but one row up . . .

    • @PereTufet
      @PereTufet Před 3 měsíci

      The same is happening to me and I found the solution. In the range, don't start in the 1 row but the 2. Don'ti use A1:x1000 and use A2:x1000 It worked for me ;-)

  • @ZhaoYun-te4xb

    10:12 This is exactly what ive been trying to do.
    The problem is, the cell that Im trying to base it on says "Sunday", but it's not actually a text that says "Sunday". It's a date that I format to display days.
    So I want every row that says Sunday to be red.
    I tried putting like =B2="Sunday", but it didn't work
    Can you help me out?

    • @Simpletivity
      @Simpletivity  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Would the following work?
      Select the range of cells you want to format based on the day.
      Go to the Home tab and click Conditional Formatting.
      Choose New Rule.
      Select Use a formula to determine which cells to format.
      In the formula box, enter: =WEEKDAY(B2)=1 (replace B2 with your actual cell reference).
      Click Format....
      Choose the desired formatting (e.g., red fill).
      Click OK twice.
      This formula checks if the weekday number returned by WEEKDAY(B2) is 1, which corresponds to Sunday. If true, the formatting will be applied.
