    Highlight cell by certain colour based on 3 criteria

    Gday all,


    I have a table that requires some assistance. I have cells (A2:A14) that needs to be colour coded based off the cells K2:K9 but have to meet certain requirements within the data set from E2:G14. For an example, A5 will need highlighted the colour within K6 because it fulfills the requirements for that colour being its a D (E5), Int (F5), and Tall (G5). The different criteria is tabled within the cells M2:M9, I can arrange them as need be, just need the starting formula to make it all work.

    Any and all help is always appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Shonky

    You will need to set up a rule for each colour. To help us help you, please manually shade the table so that we can see what we are aiming for.

    For A5

    Select A2:G14

    CF formula

    =AND($F2="Int",$G2="Tall",$E2<>"G")

    Fill: Purple

    For "Pink"

    =AND($E2="G",$F2="Int",$G2="Tall")

    For "Red"

    =AND($E2="G","$F2=Int",$G2="Standard")

    etc

    Re: Highlight cell by certain colour based on 3 criteria

    Will I have to write a rule out for every letter ie =AND($E2="A",$F2="Int",$G2="Tall")
    =AND($E2="B",$F2="Int",$G2="Tall")
    Or can I give it a series to check over? ie from A-F then H-M?

    You could try this:

    =AND(OR($E2="A",$E2="B",$E2="C",$E2="D",$E2="E",$E2="F"),$F2="Int",$G2="Tall")

    Re: Highlight cell by certain colour based on 3 criteria

    see this ...

    =AND($F2="Int",$G2="Tall",$E2<>"G")

    i,e. therefore must be A=F, H-M

    which is why I used this example

    Your initial post excluded L & M examples so may need to Exclude as above

    Thank you so very much for your assistance on this one. I'll be able to make good use of these formulas for years to come.
