    Conditional Formatting Question

    Hi Guys

    So i got a small problem here i got an excel sheet and i've with the following as header names

    Time VALID_FROM USER_NO USERNAME COUNTRY LANGUAGE_ID CAMPAIGN_LANGUAGE CURRENCY_ID DEFAULT_CURRENCY_FOR_COUNTRY GEOIP_COUNTRY BonusCampaign Balance

    if country is equal to FI and language is equal to En i want the whole row to turn a colour; i went on conditional formatting and entered this into the rule:

    =AND($F$3="en", $E$3="Fi")

    In the applied to section i entered:

    =$3:$3

    (as im dealing with row 3)

    This works fine.

    My problem is that i want the rule to be carried down row to row; meaning the row below i want:

    =AND($F$4="en", $E$4="Fi")

    =$4:$4

    And so on. Is there a way i can do this without doing it manually? As ive got over 1000 rows!

    How about using the format painter ??
    I think people forget the word "THANK YOU!!!!" Do you still know it???

    There is a little star ( ADD REPUTATION ) below those person who helped you. Click it to say your "PRIVATE APPRECIATION TO THEIR EFFORT ON THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS "

    If i do this; then if row 3 equals the conditions, then all the rows i select with the painter will only change colour based on the data in row 3; this isnt what i want. I need every row to be treated individually.

    Hi,

    Select the entire Range first, then do Conditional format , In formula remove those $ symbols @ row index part.

    thanks mmmarks

    AKA

    Select all the rows from 3 down and use the CF formula

    =AND($F3="en",$E3="Fi")
