    Conditional Formatting - Silly Question - Why is the column formatted

    I just want a cell formatted where this value is true. (Cell Q in Column 2)

    =AND($I$2="Refinance",Q2>0.75) - this formula formats the cell above i.e., Q1

    Re: Conditional Formatting - Silly Question - Why is the column formatted

    Try absolute referencing

    =AND($I$2="Refinance",$Q$2>0.75)

    and make sure that the 'Applies to' range is just the cell Q1 and not a larger range

    Re: Conditional Formatting - Silly Question - Why is the column formatted

    What do you have selected when you apply the formatting. If it's the entire column then you want the formula to represent the first cell Q1

    =AND($I$2="Refinance",Q1>0.75)

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires

    It should apply to the entire column, but only to a cell where those two values are true
