    Help with Conditional Formating based on adjacent cell not being blank

    This is my first time posting.

    I want AB1 to highlight red if date in S1 is not blank and N1 doesnt equal AA1. Is this possible?

    TIA for any help!

    Re: Help with Conditional Formating based on adjacent cell not being blank

    for 2007 or 2010 excel version
    Conditional Formatting

    Highlight applicable range >>
    AB1

    Home Tab >> Styles >> Conditional Formatting
    New Rule >> Use a formula to determine which cells to format
    Edit the Rule Description: Format values where this formula is true:

    =AND(S1 <> "",N1 <> AA1)

    Format… [Number, Font, Border, Fill] - use Fill and Colour RED
    choose the format you would like to apply when the condition is true
    OK >> OK
