    Conditional Formatting (Multiple cells)

    Hi,

    I'm having trouble applying conditional formatting to a large selection of data and would appreciate any assistance available.

    I have multiple columns of data, and essentially what I want to "highlight" is: If one cell is greater (or less) than zero and the other cell which I'm conditionally formatting = 0% highlight the cell I'm conditional formatting.

    The issue I have is that I want to check that we are not missing income, and if the sales figure is either positive or negative, then the cell (% figure) should not be zero.

    Hopefully this makes sense.

    Thanks,
    Greg

    Re: Conditional Formatting (Multiple cells)

    if I understand your question correctly this is what you need to do.

    select cell you wish to format > conditional formatting > use formula to determine which cells to format

    in the "Format values where this formula is true" box type in =AND(cell1<>0,cell2=0)
    Select which style of format you want it (color, font, etc) and hit OK.

    I just tested it on my machine and it worked according to what I believe you are looking for.

    edit to add:

    highlight the first cell you are formatting and double click "format painter" then click each additional cell you wish to have this formatting in or drag across anywhere you wish.
