    Question Conditional Formatting Formula Syntax Assistance

    Hi,

    Can anyone please advise me of the Formula Syntax I require in order to use Conditional

    Formatting to colour a cell if any of the two scenarios are true i.e.


    (a) If today’s date = the date in cell 'F1' and the name in column 'E' is = to 'Bob' and
    there is a number in the corresponding cell in column 'F' I want to be able to use Conditional
    Formatting to colour the cell i.e. red on yellow


    (b) If today’s date = the date in cell 'F1' and the name in column 'E' is = to 'Anita' and
    there is a number in the corresponding cell in column 'F' I want to be able to use Conditional
    Formatting to colour the cell i.e. red on yellow

    (c) If there are no values in column 'F' then do nothing


    please see attached workbook where I have given an example of 'Without CF' and 'With CF'

    Anny assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated

    Many thanks in advance


    Regards


    Bob

    Obviously swap the name out for Anita.
