I have two columns Marks and Expected Marks, using conditional formatting i want to highlight all cells where marks are greater than expected marks in the same row. How to apply such conditional formatting over multiple rows.
Select marks cells, in conditional formatting choose "Format only cells that contains", then choose "Greater than" and choose first cell from expected marks column.

I've applied conditional formatting to all cells in a table so that those with a character length of 3 are highlighted in yellow.
How can I select all highlighted cells at once? I can't search for yellow cells, and Go To Special > Conditional formats highlights all cells with conditional formatting applied, not just those that are highlighted (i.e., where the condition is TRUE).
You cannot use colour as a selection attribute, whether it is set manually or by conditional formatting (you might get this done using VBA).
Best way is to use the same conditions you have entered for defining the conditional formatting.
I have column G with some of the cells (not all cells) which contain dates. Now I need to use conditional formatting =($G1-TODAY())<0
The formula is working correct by highlighting in red the dates which are over-due. The issue that I'm having is that even cells which contain test or which are blank are being highlighted in red.
Is there a ways to only make the formula effective for cells which contain dates?
Your conditional format can test for text in cells or blank cells like this:
=AND(NOT(OR(ISTEXT(G1),ISBLANK(G1))),G1<TODAY())
Trying to figure a Excel formula for conditional formatting when 'No' appears more than 3 times in row. Need to highlight the No cells
Supposing that you have the "NO" values in column A starting from the cell A0. In HOME Tab, choose Conditional Formatting -> Manage Rules -> New Rule. Choose "Use a formula to determine which cells to format" in Select a Rule Type. Enter the following formula in the Format values where this formula is true:
=OR(AND(A1="NO",OFFSET(A1,1,0)="NO",OFFSET(A1,2,0)="NO"), IF(ROW(A1)>1,AND(A1="NO",OFFSET(A1,-1,0)="NO",OFFSET(A1,1,0)="NO"),FALSE),IF(ROW(A1)>2,AND(A1="NO",OFFSET(A1,-1,0)="NO",OFFSET(A1,-2,0)="NO"),FALSE))
Click the Format button to choose the way to highlight the cells. Then click OK and go back to Conditional Formatting Rules Manager. Choose the cells that you want to format in the "Applies to" field. Then Apply.
The above formula returns true if there are a consecutive three "NO" cells.
Can you apply conditional formatting comparing multiple criteria (e.g. two pivot table columns)?
I have a PivotTable in Excel 2013 that compares variable percentage rates and their corresponding values. I want to apply conditional formatting to the PivotTable by highlighting each cell that is greater than the adjacent percentage rate in red, and less than in green. My goal is to apply the formatting to all cells in the column so that I can apply filters.
Below is an example of what I am trying to accomplish:
Select the column to be highlighted and HOME > Styles - Conditional Formatting, New Rule..., Use a formula to determine which cells to format and Format values where this formula is true:
=G1>F1 with red colour
=G1<F1 with green colour
leaves equal values without highlighting. If bothered by highlighting of column label or other cells, select a cell without formatting and Copy, Paste Special, Formats over the top of those.
I want to use conditional formatting to highlight consecutive cells in a column if they are populated.
If there is only once cell that is populated followed by a blank row, I do not want to highlight that row.
Which formula should I use.
Select entire column and apply conditional formatting with formula: =COUNTBLANK(A1:A2)=0:
