    Conditional Formatting with Drop Down List

    Dear All

    how are you

    Looking for help to solve Conditional Formatting function with drop down list.

    When i change the Text of Drop down list ( cell : E2). color of Rows ( B2 : B8) is changing according to conditional formatting as i given. but color is changing in all rows not only in the row the that contain specific text shows in drop down list.

    i like to make conditional formatting

    change the only color of cells that contains only the specific text which i selected in drop down list.

    Eg :

    if i select drop down list ( E2) as Apple.... the select the rows which contain " Apple and only change the color of rows with GREEN that contains " Apple "

    if it is Mango,.... the select the rows which contain " Mango and only change the color of rows with BLUE that contains " Apple "


    File attached.

    Re: Conditional Formatting with Drop Down List

    beneesetas14, Good morning.

    Following your logic presented at your file I'm suggesting you new formulas.
    I don't understand why you need to compare column E with column H, but it was included in your formulas.

    Rule 1 -- Apple - GREEN
    =AND($B2=$E$2,$E$2=$H$5)

    Rule 2 -- Mango - BLUE
    =AND($B2=$E$2,$E$2=$H$6)

    Rule 3 -- Orange - YELLOW
    =AND($B2=$E$2,$E$2=$H$7)

    Take a look at your new file:
    29-08-2015_Conditional Formatting-ok.xlsx

    Is that what you're looking for?
    I hope it helps.

    Have a nice day!
