Can you give more context to your situation?
Is what you showed, in Applies To, or in "Use Formula"?
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

"Use Formula"
Please see the attached screenshot

Actually, the cell H$3 contains formula
=VLOOKUP(B$3,TblEvents,3,0),"")
I tried putting this formula in "use formula" but doesn't work,
not sure if its possible.
Thanks.
Try removing the $
=H3="XL"
Make sure your Applied To range covers all the cells you need to apply this to, eg H3:H28
There is something missing from that formula, probably an IF statement?Originally Posted by mikehk

Since the same values "XL" are multiple times, I don't know if conditional formatting
can work with =H3,H16,H28="XL"
I have no issues with "applies to"
you are right...complete formula is
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B$3,TblEvents,3,0),"")
If you want to chexk if all three cells contain XL try
=AND(H3="XL",H16="XL",H28="XL")
Did you try my suggestion on post #5?
I tried all methods but still can't figure it out.
Please see the attached sample file explaining my query.
Thank you.
You need three CF rules, one for each colour:
=IIFERROR(VLOOKUP(B$3,TblEvents,3,0),"")="H"
=IIFERROR(VLOOKUP(B$3,TblEvents,3,0),"")="M"
=IIFERROR(VLOOKUP(B$3,TblEvents,3,0),"")="L"

Ali, couldnt you do that without the iferror?
=VLOOKUP(B$3,TblEvents,3,0)="H"
etc?
Probably, yes.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Spreadsheet full of merged cells
Thank you everyone... got it working.
You're welcome! Thanks for the rep.
This formula is working on B3 row, if I want to apply to other Rows such as B15, B26...
I will have to create more CF rules. Is there anyway to have a single formula that
can work on all rows.
Please see the attached file.
Thank you.
Try this for the cell formula...
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($B3,TblEvents,4,0),"")
and this for the CF rule
=VLOOKUP($B3,TblEvents,4,0)=H
You can copy that to the other rows, but you will need a rule for each M, H etc
Thanks FDibbins, your formula works... I have 6 rows and each row has 3 conditions (H, M, L).
I was hoping if COLUMN() or ROW() function could be used to make less CF rules.
You only need three rules applied to the whole range you wish to cover.
The 3 rules work for Row B$3, for Row B$26 I need to make the 3 rules again
No you dont. Make up the 3 rules in the 1st cell, like I showed you - using the cell formula I showed as well.
You can then just copy that cell to the other locations.
Sorry FDibbins, it doesn't work.
formula in cell is
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B$3,TblEvents,4,0),"")
CF rule
=VLOOKUP(B$3,TblEvents,3,0)="H"
it only works in Row B$3, and I have to copy paste for Row B$15, B$26 and so on....
Sample file is attached to post # 18, you may give a try.
Thanks.
Your formulas are not quite the same as what I suggested....
Look at where the $ is in B3Try this for the cell formula...
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($B3,TblEvents,4,0),"")
and this for the CF rule
=VLOOKUP($B3,TblEvents,4,0)=H
