    Conditional Formatting with Multiple Rules (including Text & Merged Cells...eek!)

    Howdy & Happy Sunday!

    I am in an excel quandary and can use some help. I have reached that "throw something at the monitor" level of frustration.

    I am trying to do conditional formatting for cells in the 23rd row (which is a formula of ?22-?21 where ?=column letter).

    If the number is greater than zero and the project fee type (row 4) is Fixed Fee, then I want it to highlight as red. If the number is less than zero, then I want it to highlight green.

    However for the fee type of Hourly, I want it to do the opposite where if it is greater than zero it should highlight green and highlight red if it is below zero.

    I have tried to separate the formulas to try and follow the priority but had no luck. I also tried the AND function (=AND((C3="Fixed Free"),(C23>0)) but that did not work either.

    I have been googling my face off with no results trying a bunch of things. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Not sure why that did not work for you, it should have. You had a few extra () inthere, but they should not have affected the answer. I used ...
    =AND(C3="Fixed Free",C23>0)

    You will need to manually adjust the references

    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Select C23:D23 and make new rules for conditional formatting based on the formulas given below...

    For Red:
    =AND($C$4="Fixed Fee",C23>0)
    For Green:
    =AND($C$4="Fixed Fee",C23<0)
