    Conditional Formatting with Variable Look Up

    Hi All,

    Not sure if my title is appropriate but hopefully my description is clear.
    I have 2 sheets: Data and RollUp. In Data, I enter information for budget planning, example:
    lookup Quarter Market Activity Amount Complete
    emailQ4NY Q4 NY email 500 10/01/15

    In RollUp, I have created the "pretty" version of the budget that pull info from Data:

    Q4 LA NY Chi
    email 100 500 50
    coupon 400 300 400
    Q1
    email 500 100 200
    Coupon 200 100 200

    So in RollUp, I want to be able to highlight the cells that have been completed; i.e. have a date in "Complete" column in Data.

    (If it helps, I build the look-up value for the budgets by activity&quarter&market, and use the "lookup" column in Data to pull the information. I know this is pretty rudimentary, but it was what I was able to come up with.)

    Please let me know if you have any questions, or can help.

    Thanks!!


    Adding clarity to my question:

    In RollUp I want to highlight the budget cells (ex: C2 (email/NY)) that have a date entered in Data sheet "Complete" column.

    In this example, since New York Email was completed on 10/1 (as noted in Data!), C2 (in RollUp!) would be highlighted.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi


    Conditional formatting


    New Rule

    Use a formula to determine which cells to format

    =A$2<>""

    Applies to: =$A$2:$F$2

    Re: Conditional Formatting with Variable Look Up

    Thanks for the help so far, but I am not sure if these accomplish what I am looking to do. More clarity:

    In RollUp I want to highlight the budget cells (ex: C2 (email/NY)) that have a date entered in Data sheet "Complete" column.

    In this example, since New York Email was completed on 10/1 (as noted in Data!), C2 (in RollUp!) would be highlighted.

    Hope this helps.
