I am trying to apply formatting conditionally:
If in row 1, C = 0 and D = 0 highlight the entire row 1, then repeat for each row.
I have the following formula:
=(AND($C$1=0, $D$1=0))
but with this I have two issues:
- the formatting is applied just in row 1, and not subsequent rows
- only the column I am applying the conditional formatting to is highlighted, rather than a complete row.
How can I achieve my goal?
A slight variation on @JNevill’s answer is to add provision to limit the CF to rows where C and D are not both blank (or your sheet may have a lot of highlighting if you do not limit the row range – and if you do limit the row range at some time in future it may not be sufficient). Blank cells trigger an =0
condition.
So a CF formula such as:
=AND($C1=0,$D1=0,$C1<>"",$D1<>"")
and an Applies to range such as:
=$A:$Z
or further “east” to suit:
Answer:
You need to apply the condition to every column in every row that you want highlighted. Also your formula shouldn’t have the Rows locked with the $ symbol. It should read: =AND($C1=0, $D1=0)
