I am trying to highlight cells that contain values over 500, but ONLY in columns that have "Variance" in the column header. Is there a way to do this? I know you can highlight specific columns using something like =$A1="Variance" but not sure how to write the formula to include only highlight the cells in those specific columns with values over 500.

I am trying to show that a cell must be filled in. I want to use conditional formatting to highlight the cell isn't filled out using conditional formatting. Based on an EMPTY spreadsheet (gets filled in weekly by row, so I don't want a bunch of red cells until a line is filled in). I want a cell in column I to turn red when either columns "B:H" have text. Then if the person fills out a cell in column I the coloring goes away. I have tried =AND(ISTEXT(B#),ISNONTEXT(I#)), but this means that when a different row in column B is filled out the conditional formatting doesn't work. I then tried to individually put the condition formatting in, but it only works on the first 2 rows. I also tried =AND(ISTEXT($B#),ISNONTEXT($I#)) to show that it is based on the column, that also didn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Assuming B:H are empty. You can use an AND formula looking at COUNTA (of B:H) combined with ISBLANK (column I).
Select range I2:I4 and input this formula into your Conditional Format Rule:
=AND(COUNTA(B2:H2)>=1,ISBLANK(I2))
Then change your conditional format fill as RED.

I apologize if this has been posted, but I haven't found a solution that works.
I have an excel sheet with a lot of data.
I want to make the cells in a certain column (column CG) turn purple if the value of a cell in a different column, but equal row is "no". For example, I want the cell in column CG row 140 to turn purple if the cell in column CS row 140 is no. I want this to happen for every cell in the column. I tried to set up a conditional formatting rule such that the rules applies to =$CG$4:$CG$200 and for the formula I've tried $CS=no, $CS="no" $CS4="no" and $CS4=no with the formatting just being a purple highlight. I've tried hitting apply and ok, but nothing works.
I used these link to determine what to do for my rule.

Any suggestions?
Simply highlight the entire column "CG" then open the CF dialog.
Select the option Use a formula to determine which cells to format and type in the following formula:
=$CS1="no"
Then proceed to set your formatting, in your case, a purple fill.
I'm trying to highlight certain cells that match to any other cell in a different column. For example I have a huge list of names in column A, and in Column P I have a column of names that are not supposed to be contacted. I want every name in column A that exists in column P to be highlighted.
I have tried conditional formatting however it won't accept multiple text entries. I did have a simple duplicate format set up, however if I have multiple entries in A that are the same they are highlighted as well. It is easy enough with numbers however as it is text I have found it much more difficult.
Can anyone help with a formula or such that could help me solve this?
Please select ColumnA, HOME > Styles - Conditional Formatting, New Rule..., Use a formula to determine which cells to format and Format values where this formula is true::
=ISNUMBER(MATCH($A1,$P:$P,0))
Format..., select your choice of formatting, OK, OK:
I have a spreadsheet where I want to search for the word "Total" in column headings, then look down the column that matched for "Total", find any row that has a value greater than 1 and highlight the row. The reason for searching for "Total" is that more columns may be added at any time but there will always be a "Total" column, and I will always want to highlight that row if the total is greater than 0.
I got very confused using the MATCH function.
I have a sample spreadsheet but can't see how to upload it.
With a warning that I either misunderstood the requirement or now misunderstand it and assuming column headings are in Row1, please try selecting the entire sheet and HOME > Styles - Conditional Formatting, New Rule..., Use a formula to determine which cells to format and Format values where this formula is true::
=OFFSET($A1,,MATCH("Total",$1:$1,0)-1)>0
Format... with formatting of your choice, OK, OK.
I have a 1600-2000 rows of data in a spreadsheet that changes daily. I would like to highlight any row that contains such as 000000000000053851 in the R column. I had tried conditional formatting using this formula:
=OR($R1="000000000000549543",$R1="000000000000267294,$R1="000000000000053851")
but it seems to highlight a few rows that are blank in column R also.
Using the same numbers highlighted in column R, I would like to have an alternate number and possibly other data pasted into the corresponding row in column S. Each number has a unique alternate number and data to go along with it. This is how I picture a line may look with the highlighting and alternate data next to it:
I intend to record a macro using a few of the different steps that are likely required to do this. Any way, whether conditional formatting or an array formula, would be great to help with this.
For the sample provided, a CF rule of:
=LEFT(R1,12)="000000000000"
applied to ColumnR will format the sample and if you wish the cell immediately to the right. It will not highlight blank cells.
HOME > Styles - Conditional Formatting, New Rule..., Use a formula to determine which cells to format and Format values where this formula is true:, enter formula from above and Format... with Fill red, OK, OK.
If you want the cell to the right to be formatted also, select ColumnsR:S instead of just ColumnR and change R1 in the formula to $R1.
For the cell to the right you provide few details but VLOOKUP in conjunction with a two-column table should suit. Column on the left being the ColumnR value, with the right-hand column for the same row the ColumnS value required. This table could be placed almost anywhere.
This could all be done with Record Macro.
