    Formula help required to enable conditional formatting of cells that meet multiple cond.

    Guys

    bit of help required.

    i need to conditionally format a cell say A10 that meets the following condtions

    either A2 OR B2 contains the word YES and C2 contains the word NO.

    so to recap if either of cells A2 or B2 contains YES and C2 contains NO then I want to color the cell A10 blue

    any help appreciated

    hi barbara. select A10 & go to Home -> Conditional Formatting -> New Rule -> Use a formula to determine which cells to format -> Format values where this formula is true:
    =AND(OR($A$2="Yes",$B$2="Yes"),$C$2="No")

    @ Barbara Excel

    Based on your last post it seems that you are satisfied with the solution(s) you've received but you haven't marked your thread as SOLVED. I'll do that for you now but please keep in mind for your future threads that Rule #9 requires you to do that yourself. If your problem has not been solved you can use Thread Tools (located above your first post) and choose "Mark this thread as unsolved".
    Thanks.
