    Post Conditional Formatting with a collective Formula

    Dear Excel Experts,

    Greetings, i have a formula that checks different cells in the row and returns with "Error" or "No-Error" (Attached)
    I like to have a conditional formatting that highlights the cells that does not follow these formula or returns with Error. Let the row show how many errors in it through highlighted colors. Thank you all in advance.

    Could you please explain what this formula is supposed to do?
    For instance your use of the INDEX function is not known to me

    Thank you for the reply.

    If formula conditions are as follows

    First Part of the formula

    in the above formula, any cells that are empty are is returning as Error in the column "AO". And to be hightlighted through Conditional formating.(Waiting for solution)

    Index Formula conditions are as follows.

    Second part of the formula

    In the above formula, Cells with I = "Solution Design" will check if the Date in J2 is in the past "No-Error" Else Error or if its empty will return as Error.
    will check if the date in K2:N2 in the future will return as "No-Error" else "Error"
    Cells with I = "Prospecting" will check if the date in K2 is empty or in the future will return as "No Error" else "Error"
    Will check if the dates in J2;L2 : N2 is in the future will return as "No Erroe" else "Error"
    Cells with I = "Decision pending" will check if the date in J2:K2 in the past will return as "No-Error" Else "error" and if its empty will return as"Error"
    will check if the date in L2:N2 in the future will return as "No-Error" else "Error" and if its empty will return as "error".

    In the index formula all the error conditioned cells should be highlighted by some color.

    Thank you...and if need of any further clarification i am ready to explain.

    Best Regards

    Paul Thangaraj.

    Re: Conditional Formatting with a collective Formula

    If I understand correctly you would like to have any cell in column R that is either blank or equal to zero highlighted, so select R2:R20 and use the following as a formatting rule: =OR(R2=0,R2="")
    If a cell in columns AB:AD is blank it should be highlighted, so select AB2:AD20 and use the following as a formatting rule: =AB2=""
    If a cell in column I contains Solution Design and the corresponding cell in column J is <=today() then the cell in column J should highlight using: =AND(I2="Solution Design",K2<=TODAY())
    The rest of the rules will be similar.
    Let us know if you have any questions.
