    Google Sheets Timeline - Conditional Formatting not working :(

    Hi all,

    Just wondering if anyone can help with this... I have previously built interactive timelines using Excel & Google sheets that incorporate conditional formatting based on START & END dates based on 2x cells.

    For some reason when I've tried to put a new one together the conditional formatting does not seem to be working.

    The formula I'm using is;

    =AND(S$8>=Q$10,S$8<=R$10)

    Which is applied to the range S10:RH1999

    As far as I can see this SHOULD work, any help here would be much appreciated!

    Thanks
    Jack

    Try changing the formula to use Boolean arithmetic structure, like this:

    =(S$8>=Q$10)*(S$8<=R$10)

    Are you able to provide a link to sample/copy of the file?

    (just break up the link with spaces and put (dot) for the dots)

    Hi Jack,

    Here is working formula, already keyed into your file:
    =AND(S$8>=$Q10,S$8<=$R10)

    this will also work:
    =(S$8>=$Q10)*(S$8<=$R10)
