    If Statement within conditional formatting

    Morning happy campers!

    Currently i have a CF set up as 
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    which applies to a whole host of cells, essentially, if the figure in C2 is greater than in C1, the row changes colour.

    Column A - Name
    Column B - Date
    Column C - *formula* 
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    (this continues down the sheet)

    I would like to add a CF that would look at the name in Column A and do the following:

    If the name in A2 onwards is duplicated AND the number in C2 onwards is LESS than C1, turn the line blue.

    Many thanks in advance

    Perhaps

    =And(countif($A:$a,$a2)>1,$C2<$C$1)

    Hi and thanks for the incredibly quick reply!

    As i see that JOSEPH is ofline, i have to say that his formula works ok. Perhaps you need to modify a little the ranges...

    Re: If Statement within conditional formatting

    Hi Fotis,

    First off, thank you to JosephP for the intitial helper, and thankyou to fotis for the additional.
    However -

    Having looked at the attachment you sent, i cant work it out

    could you please modify the formula?
    where your sheet reads - 
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Which looks at C3 being less than C2 - not an issue as i can change that to $C2<$C$1.

    Where i am struggling with is:

    When the name is duplicated AND the number is lower than the value in $C$1, i would like both instances of the row highlighted in blue, but no line would be highlighted if both are not under the value in C1

    I have attached the file to help explain.
    Thanks again

    Re: If Statement within conditional formatting

    I must missing something here. So pls try to explain to me,

    Dan Smith in row 5 is duplicate name(row 3) and has the number in column C is 21. That means that is < than $C$1, WHICH IS BE 90

    Same situation for Tom Jones in row7.

    If the name in row 7 is John Something OR value in column C is >90. The row will not highlight.

    Re: If Statement within conditional formatting

    Hi, so sorry, i do have a tendancy to not explain enough

    Ok, row3 is the same name as row5, BUT both the numbers are not below the value of C1 (90) so i dont want either of them to be highlighted.
    However, if 2 identical names exist and both numbers are under the value of C1 (90) then i would like both highlighting.

    Thanks, and sorry, again

    Re: If Statement within conditional formatting

    perhaps
    =SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$1000=$A2)*($C$2:$C$1000<$C$1))>1

    Re: If Statement within conditional formatting

    Good morning,

    I have tried the formula supplied but am still unable to get the required result.

    For example, in my worksheet i have the same name appear 5 times in Column A, in Column C the values are 138, 110, 97, 66, 12. Yet all are highlighted in blue.
    The CF i have entered is

    And in the section where you define what area the formula applies to i have added

    Another side effect is that all rows currently blank within the range A2:J999 are now also blue.

    and copied all the way down, and now the conditional Format works, the question now is how can i stop that happening to blank rows?

    Kind regards
