Re: Conditional Formatting Dilema



Disregard the last post. I changed the red condition to the end of the list
and everything works great. Thanks for your quick help.

Select the row(s) to be formatted, open the Conditional Formatting
dialog and enter

Condition 1: Formula Is
=LEN($A1)
format for red.

Condition 2: Formula Is
=AND(OR(LEN($B1),LEN($F1)),NOT(AND(LEN($B1),LEN($F1))))
format for yellow.

Condition 3: Formula Is
=AND(LEN($B1),LEN($F1))
format for green.

Change the "1" row number to the appropriate row.

Cordially,

I have a spread*** that has 6 columns. I want to set up conditional
formatting on the whole row that will change the color of the row based on if
there is data entered in column 1, 2, or 6. If there is any value in column 1
I want the row to be red. When either 2 or 6 has data entered, the row should
turn yellow. When both 2 and 6 have data, the row turns green.
