I need to place a checkbox linked to a dropdown list so that the data will return a highlight based on the selection in the dropdown when the checkbox is selected. I believe this is a simple formula such as =AND($B$4="True", $B$3_____), but I can't figure out how to complete that second parameter - $B$3 being the drop down list location . I'm not even sure how to frame this question for a proper search.
If the Conditional Formatting formula is in cell C3...
=AND($B$4=TRUE, $B$3=C3)
Surround your VBA code with CODE tags e.g.;
[CODE]your VBA code here[/CODE]
The # button in the forum editor will apply CODE tags around your selected text.
The formatting need to cover a range of data 40 rows long, not just one cell. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that.
Still not that clear.Originally Posted by jkelly76
Did it work for the one cell?
What 40 rows?
Is there a dropdown in each row in column B ?
Is there a checkbox in each row?
Perhaps an example workbook would help explain.
Please attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.
Remember to desensitize the data.
Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
All data is fictional for the purposes of this sample
Rule: =AND($B$4=TRUE,$B6=$B$3)
Applies to: =$B$6:$B$31

Thanks! I knew it had to be simple, but I couldn't think of how to word it.
