    Category Highlight Rules

    Hello,

    Can the cells in column F be highlighted red fill when the selected Category is not in the Category Rule from column I matching the Detail?

    I put 3 examples of 3 incorrect entries.

    Thank you

    how about
    =AND(COUNTIFS($H$3:$H$55,$E3,$I$3:$I$55,$F3)=0,COUNTIFS($H$3:$H$55,$E3,$I$3:$I$55,"")=0)

    picks up another 2 - one with a blank

    is that giving the results you expect?

    I noticed there are additional helper columns. Are these necessary?
