Question about conditional formatting

Welcome to the forum.

Sorry, I don't follow the logic.

There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook (yellow banner: HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK). Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.

A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

Please read the last line of my instruction again and provide the sample workbook as requested with the formatting manually implemented and annotations to clarify the requirement. Then I shall have a look.

So, a pure guess in the absence of a sample sheet (I should NOT have had to create a sample myself - you should have done this).

CF rule for B1:

=AND($B1<>"",$C1<>"",NOT(OR(ISNA(XMATCH($B1,$A:$A,0)),ISNA(XMATCH($C1,$A:$A,0)))))

Applies to: =$B:$C

EDIT: I see from your workbook that this is not what you want. I'll have another look later if I have time.

CF rule for A1:

=AND($A1<>"",OR(AND(NOT(ISNA(MATCH($A1,$B:$B,0))),NOT(ISNA(MATCH(INDEX($C:$C,MATCH($A1,$B:$B,0)),$A:$A,0)))),AND(NOT(ISNA(MATCH($A1,$C:$C,0))),NOT(ISNA(MATCH(INDEX($B:$B,MATCH($A1,$C:$C,0)),$A:$A,0))))))

Applies to: =$A:$A

You will need to test this thoroughly.

Is this any good?
