    Using if and And together in conditional formatting multiple rules!

    Hi

    I am not particularlly great with complex formula but I'll give it go!
    I have three rules I am trying to get into conditional formatting for my spreadhseet which are:
    1. If(b29<10% of b24) = equal fill box red
    2. If(b29>=10% of b24)and(b29+c29< b24) =equals fill box red
    3. If(b29>=10% of b24)and(b29+c29>=b24) =equals fill box green

    I am hoping someone can help me!!

    Re: Using if and And together in conditional formatting multiple rules!

    Hello
    For the first two rules as you need Red color so you can combine both the rules
    so the formula would be
    =OR(B29<(0.1*B24),AND(B29>=(0.1*B24),(B29+C29)< B24))

    for the third rule use this one
    =AND(B29>=(0.1*B24),(B29+C29)>=B24)

    Tell me if it works right….

    Hope it helps

    May be:

    =B29<B24*0.1

    =AND(B29>=B24*0.1,B29+C29<B24)

    =AND(B29>=B24*0.1,B29+C29>=B24)

    Thank you, it is accepting the formula (which I couldn't get it do) but its not applying the formatting!

    Mine and Sourabh's returns TRUE/FALSE and can be accepted to be CF criteria!

    If it doe not work, try topost a small dummy workbook.

    Re: Using if and And together in conditional formatting multiple rules!

    Remember while doing conditional formatting that you select the correct range....and maybe try these formula
    =OR($B$29<(0.1*$B$24),AND($B$29>=(0.1*$B$24),($B$29+$C$29)< $B$24))
    and
    =AND($B$29>=(0.1*$B$24),($B$29+$C$29)>=$B$24)
    this would fix the criteria cells ..B24 and B29 would be used as a criteria for all cells now....

    Tell me if it works right….

    Re: Using if and And together in conditional formatting multiple rules!

    Seems to me that you only need one CF. Statically format the cell as red, then

    =(b29 >= 0.1 * b24) * (b29+c29 >= b24)

    ... and format as green.

    Cells with CF usually do.
