    Conditional formatting

    Hi,

    conditional formatting need to be applied on one column based on satifying some conditions on another column.. is it possible ?

    For example, If I have a pupil list of a school & their marks.

    Their marks should be highlighted, if their standard is 8th.
    means,,,all 8 std students marks should be highlighted...

    I am sure some one can help me on this forum..

    Regards
    Mani

    Re: how to use conditional formatting

    Select the list of names and go to Format|Conditional Formatting...

    Then select Formula Is

    and enter formula like: =B1="8th"

    or =B1=8 (if you have just a number in there).

    where B1 is the top most cell corresponding to top most cell you selected to highlite.

    Then click Format and choose colour from pattern tab.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    will it be possible to have multiple conditions to satisfy conditional formatting ?

    use something like

    =AND(B1="8th",C1="John")

    where column C holds the pupil name
