IF/AND in Conditional Formatting

**OverKnight** · 01-05-2012, 10:33 AM

Hi - for starters, I'm working with Excel 2007 with XP Pro...

I'd like to use conditional formatting to highlight in bold red all of the cells in column A that exceed these two conditions:
1) the cell value in column A is > 0.15, AND
2) the cell value in column A is > than the value in the same row in column B; again, both of these conditions must be met.

On the attached spreadsheet, I've demonstrated what I'd like to do. I've tried using the "Format only the cells that contain" Rule Type, but doing this produces many false positives. I think "Use a formula to determine which cells to format" with an IF/AND formula is what I need, but I haven't been able to figure out the correct syntax.

Thanks very much.

Hi

The formula in conditional formatting, is:

=AND($A1>0.15;$A1>B1)

hOPE TO HELPS YOU.

Thank you, Fotis. However, it's not working for me. Realize that the spreadsheet I had attached had cells A1, A4, A10, A13 and A16 manually boldfaced and colored red. When I applied your formula to my spreadsheet, it didn't work, and when I removed the red/bold from the sheet you sent back, it wasn't working there, either. Any other ideas?

Also, sorry I posted this where I did; I didn't realize this section was for Outlook. I saw "Formatting and Functions", so I thought that's where I should post; I totally missed the word "Outlook".

Thanks again.

Take a look to the new attachement(Same formula, as Yesterday's). Works perfectly for me! For you???

Thank you, Fotis. I have absolutely NO idea why it wouldn't work for me yesterday, but today it works perfectly!

Thanks again!
