    Conditional Formating: Highlight Cells Based on Multiple Stipulations

    I'm trying to get it so that a cell becomes automatically highlighted if 2 other cells conditions are met. For example, I want cell A5 to become highlighted if BOTH cell B1=Loan 1 AND cell B5=Yes. Here is a mockup of what I'm talking about incase it makes it easier to understand.

    I'm using Excel 2007.

    Try
    =(AND(B1="Loan",B5="Yes"))

    and format as necesssary

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Re: Conditional Formating: Highlight Cells Based on Multiple Stipulations

    In XL2007, chose B5:B10 if you want all cells to format on that condition,

    then choose Conditional Formatting from Home tab... and then Manage Rules... then click New Rule... Select use a formula to determine which cells to format...

    then apply: =AND($B$1="Loan 1",B5="Yes")

    Click Format and choose colour

    Click Ok.

    Click New Rule to add more formatting or Ok to finish.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
