    Advanced Conditional Formatting Ideas Needed! (ok, maybe not that advanced...)

    Two questions:

    1. Can I have a conditional format that is dependant on two different cells? For example in Cell A2 I want to have the cell turn bright red if A2 is greater than zero and B2 equals zero. I want to then drag this down for every cell in column A.

    2. I cell C2 I want to turn this cell bright red if cell D2 gets the error message "DIV/0!" to flag there is an error. Is this possible?

    Thanks

    Hi shadestreet,

    Try this,

    Conditional formatting for B2
    formula is > =IF(A2>0,IF(B2=0,TRUE,FALSE))
    select formatting required

    Formula in cell C2
    =IF(ISERROR(D2),"Error","")

    Conditional formatting for C2
    formula is > =ISERROR(D2)
    select formatting required

    Is this what you require?

    Formula is:
    =AND($A2>0,$B2=0)

    Formula is:
    =(ERROR.TYPE(D2)=2)
