I've got a spreadsheet which lists the hire start date for our fleet of vehicles, it lists the milage and each car needs a service every 12,000 miles.
I'm trying to use Conditional Formatting to highlight cars which need a service.
First one (less than 12000 miles works fine)
Next one should say this:
If N1 (cell of 2nd service) is blank and mileage (I1) is between 12,000 and 24,000 miles, highlight yellow.
Here it is:
=IF(AND(ISBLANK(N1),(I1>24000,I1<12000))
As it's in the Conditional Formatting tool it is just giving me a generic error.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Posting the formula as answer as it worked for you,
=AND(ISBLANK($N1),$I1<24000,$I1>12000)

I'm having trouble using Conditional Formatting in Excel. I am inexperienced so apologies if this is an easy fix.
Basically, I have a table of accounts, and the number of orders they have in a matrix style. For each order they make, the number of days since they made that order is added into the table.
Order Quantity is the order number, so the 9th order Clara made was 2416 days ago
I wanted to show that if, for example, Abbie's 3rd order was over a year after her 2nd order (which it is), then highlight it red. If it's between 6 months and a year, yellow, and if it's under 6 months to make it green (if it's possible to have more choice that would be even better, so last 30 days, 90 days, etc.).
However, when I write this into the formula section of the conditional formatting area, and drag the formatting down, the cell numbers stay the same, so they would all base their values on whether the 5th, 6th, 7th orders were over a year since her 2nd order.
I wanted to make it to show the 3rd against 2nd, 4th against 3rd, 5th against 4th and so on. (And obviously I would like to do this with all accounts). How would I go about this?
The only way I can even think of it working after the problems I've had is to do them all individually, which would be very time consuming.
=$J$5 < $J$4 - 365 is the formula that is written. I've gotten rid of the $ but they automatically reappear, and even when they don't, the cells don't change.
This time I'll translate for the non-fake-German speakers..
The formula should not be with absolute references when the conditions aren't absolute, i.e. $B$2<$B$1-365 over the range =$B$2:$G$13 would color all cells in that range red since B2 is in fact smaller than B1 - 365
The formulae in English:
AND(ISNUMBER(B1),B2>B1-180)
AND(B2<B1-180,B2<B1-365) (yes, I had
360 in the img, don't ask why)
B2<B1-365 (no change there ofc)
Example of Product Data and Inbounds
I have 20 products that I sell that each have some requested amount that people want to buy. I am struggling to figure out a formula by which I could have it return the week where the sum of it and previous weeks is greater than the amount requested, so I know on what week of inbounds the order can be fulfilled.
The example data only shows three columns of dates but in reality there could be up to 20 weeks of inbounds inventory, so it would be potentially a large series of sums before it finds the one greater than the amount requested. In the example image the cells highlighted in green are the correct week for each product that I manually marked.
Thanks for the help, I'm not sure where to even start on this.
Assuming that your table start in cell A1 (therefore the cell C2 value is 96), use this formula for your conditional formatting starting from cell C2:
=AND(SUM($C2:C2)>=$B2,SUM($B2:B2)-$B2<$B2)
Warning: the formula might stop working if the overall structure of the table is changed. For example: if columns with non-numeric data are inserted, the user will need to re-apply the conditional formatting. If said inserted columns will contain numeric value that are not meant to be sum in the formula, it won't suffice anymore.
I am afraid I don't have time to write a full answer but the below might help. I am sure there is a way to avoid writing multiple COUNTIFS with a SUMPRODUCT but I haven't got there yet.
=SUM(1,
COUNTIFS($B3,">"&$C3),
COUNTIFS($B3,">" & SUM($C3:$D3)),
COUNTIFS($B3,">" & SUM($C3:$E3))
)
This is a model built around your having 20 weeks so that you can have one formula which doesn't require continuous adjustment - it does require one column of helper cells for each week, though:
the helper cells start in column Y, where the formula in Y2 is
=SUM($C2:C2)
which is then copied to the right as far as column AR, and then copied down, one row for each of your products.
With all of the helper cells populated, the array formula in W2 is
=IFNA(INDEX($C$1:$V$1,MATCH(1,N((Y2:AR2-B2)>0),0)),"In the future")
which is then copied down, one row for each of your products.
I have a problem with an excel function, i "inherited" from a former colleague.
I have the two tables below:
My goal is to get the green field in Table 2 to show the sum of Person1s earnings from January to December. If months was =11 in Table 2, it should show the sum of Person1s earnings from January to November.
My current formular is a lot of nested "If" and "Sum.if" functions, but i wish to shorten it. Is it possible. I tried to say the sum area in the Sum.If to be all columns with data, but it still just returns the one from january (the first one it finds, i guess)
I hope someone can help me! Sorry for my bad english, but i'm not a native speaker
Best regards

In B16, enter formula :
=SUM(OFFSET(B2,MATCH(A16,A3:A9,0),,,C12))
SUMIF is used to add the contents of a single column that match the criteria.
To achieve what you want, try this:
To shorten the formula significantly
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$3:$A$9=$A$14)*(B3:K9))
I have guessed your row and column numbers, but if you can't get it working just post your row and column headings and I will troubleshoot it.
Alternatively, if you would like to add another table with cumulative earnings, you could do it quite easily.
To provide cumulative earnings for each month for each person
For example, in B15 (or whatever the reference, we can't see your row/column number) you could have "Cumulative Jan", then fill right for a column for the cumulative earnings for each month. In that case B15 would say:
=SUM($B3:B3)
Then fill right and down.
This gives you cumulative earnings for any month for any person, in a table.
You could then do a lookup to that table if you wanted to, to return the matching value given the two inputs of person and month number.
I feel like there must be a simple solution to this, despite google not yielding anything.
Basically, I an excel newbie and I am creating a complex construction estimates sheet, where there are 10 tabs for our 10 large categories of work (plumbing, etc). The user then selects a sub- category (i.e., chilled piping) and enters hours under the Journeyman, Apprentice, Foreman, etc categories since every union and type of work gets different pay. All these 10 tabs are summed together to create a pricing sheet that shows sum of labor hours and sum of pricing by category ("Plumbing: 4.5 hours, $400", "Foundation: 300 hours, $7810").
The problem is, the user MUST select a subcategory from the drop down as well as put in hours or else the pricing breaks since the formula uses a VLOOKUP to find the correct price for each subcategory. The summary tab will show count of hours but a blank in pricing if this isn't done ("Plumbing: 4.5 hours, $-").
I'm trying to force the user to pick a subcategory if they've typed in hours into the columns, or make the sheet return an error on the summary tab if the hours aren't blank but the pricing is. Don't care either way. I've tried conditional formatting and data validation but haven't been able to figure out how to express: "If cell B1 is not blank, and cell C1 is, highlight C1 red/return error message."
Thanks so much for your help!
apply this in another cell like if(b1="",1,0) and make your data validation through that cell.
I'm working on a personal budget spreadsheet, and I have a tab that calculates what I've spent so far in certain categories and compares that total to what I have budgeted for. I have one column showing how much I've spent and the one next to it shows how much I have left to spend. What I want to do is highlight both the total and the amount left if the column showing the difference is negative. I want to do this for the whole 2 columns. Here is a link to my sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AXaxVpVpblxwnS7VBhz4yhz1SNXRGCB6Zrb3OIKiaKk/edit?usp=sharing
I think my main challenge is highlighting both cells dependent on only one of them. I've tried some custom formulas but they don't seem to work. I know there has to be a way to do this. Any ideas?
You just need to fix the custom formula with a $ and apply it to G6:H26 so that when it is applied to column G it still checks column H:-
=$H6<0
Hope that helps
