    Advanced formula - Return result & Show Cell Reference of result

    Hi, I'm trying to build a formula that would take the content of a cell and
    compare it to the value (yes or no), of a range of cells, then show the cell
    reference (column/row#) if the cell reference does not meet the given
    criteria. Ex....
    if... Column A, Rows 3-15 contains the letter "B"
    then... Columns "D and/or F" (rows 3-15) should contain "yes", However
    if... any of the rows contains "no" in both columns (D & F), then show which
    row..

    Try conditional formatting.

    Select B3:F15
    Goto CF, Format>Conditional Formatting
    Change Condition 1 to Formula Is
    Add a Formula =OR($D3="no",$F3="no")
    Click format
    Select Pattern
    Choose a colour
    OK

    CF is conditional formatting. Follow the steps I gave, it is complete.
    Format>Conditional Formatting means take the Format menu, then take
    Conditional Formatting off that menu.

    Re: Advanced formula - Return result & Show Cell Reference of resu

    Yes, I got that part worked out, thanks... but I still need a formula to
    compare the value of columns D&F with a value in column A, of the same row.

    For Example:
    If (column)A="B" and (column)D="no", (column)F="no", then change the color
    of the cell in column A to yellow.

    Re: Advanced formula - Return result & Show Cell Reference of resu

    Woooweee! Bob, I finally figured it out. Your assistance certainly pointed
    me in the right direction. This is what I ended up with and it worked.

    I highlighted the rows, by clicking the row numbers of all the rows I wanted
    to query. Then selected Format / Conditional Format
    condition 1: =IF(--($F18="B")--($F18="D"),AND($M18="no",$O18="no"))
    [format: color=yellow]
    condition 2: =IF($F18="c",AND($L18="no",$N18="no")) [Format color=purple]
    condition 3: =IF($F18="O",AND($L18="no",$N18="no")) [Format color=green]

    I would still appreciate any comments and/or suggestions.. Also, is there a
    way to use the same formula without first going into "conditional
    formatting"? and still be able to show the results with the different colors
    schemes?
