    Multiple client rows with finished status for every rows

    Hi,

    I've got a spreadsheet with a list of clients and account statuses. Each client has multiple rows and each row has a status. I want to be able to highlight the clients who has a finished status for every one of there rows...

    Anyone got any clever ideas?

    Hi and welcome to the forum.

    Highlight your range(B2:H29).

    In Conditional Formatting rules, put this.

    =$H2="FINISHED"

    Choose color>>OK.

    Re: Multiple client rows with finished status for every rows

    Thanks guys!

    Thats now changed the formatting for the individual rows that have a status of finished but is there a way I can get it to only flag if every row for that client is at 'Finished' in column H. I highlighted Column B, added conditional formatting and insterted the =$H2="Finished" in the formula section

    Sorry I'm liking being a divvy, really appreciate the advice!

    Re: Multiple client rows with finished status for every rows

    You must Highlight range B2:H29(Not only B2:B29), and then put formula...

    If you can not handle this, upload your sample workbook ...

    Re: Multiple client rows with finished status for every rows

    Had to rejig a couple of columns as one of the references was a formula field. removed headers row, highlighted columns A & B and applied the condition formatting (changing the H ref to B). doesnt seem to be quite working as you'll see from the attachment, it does work for 90186 but others are being highlighted incorrectly. thoughts?

    If either of you fancy a beer in Edinburgh, I'll buy. Might be a trek though..

    Re: Multiple client rows with finished status for every rows

    True, but I need to see only the clients who have all their rows at finished, e.g. 90150 still has 6 rows to be completed before I would want it flagged. Basically need to be able to identify the clients whos cases can closed :s

    Am I being too hopeful?

    Sorry!

    Re: Multiple client rows with finished status for every rows

    You can just type in CF rules, F1=G1, but i think that don't need to use helpers columns. My formula in Conditional formatting rules, gives you the result that you need WITHOUT, these columns.

    Try to erase these 2 columns and you'll see that your result is same as before...

    Re: Multiple client rows with finished status for every rows

    Thanks Fotis, I've tried copying your working across to my main sheet but it doesnt seem to want to play, column F keeps reverting to #NAME? when I touch it. I do rerally like the way you've laid it out though becuase I would love to be able to add a flag in a field so I could auto filter and only see the ones I can close rather than scrolling through any ideas?
