    Conditional Formatting Help-highlights a single row

    I am trying to make a conditional format that highlights a single row (out of thousands) when in that row, the x > y and when x < z

    However, I only want it to highlight when I have a drop down box on a different tab selected as "Yes"

    If it's not yes, I Don't want anything to be highlighted. Is this possible?

    First Name that cell on the other tab through Formulas|Define Name or enter a name directly in the Name box to left of the formula bar...

    Then select range in the initial sheet to affect and invoke Home|Conditional Formatting|New Rule

    Select Use a formula to determine which cells to format

    and enter formula like:

    =AND(DataCell="Yes",$X1>$Y1,$X1<$Z1)

    where DataCell is the name of the dropdown cell, X1, Y1 and Z1 are the cells to compare within row 1 (the top most row of your selection... change if necessary).
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
