i have tons of data that i would like to highlight only those cell that fulfill some criteria, said value < 0.100. Please advice.
Conditional Formatting is what you are looking for.
You can use conditional formatting. ( More info here, tutorial here and a video tutorial on YouTube.)
The above answers are correct, but I would add that if I recall correctly you can have unlimited conditional formatting on the same cell(s) in Excel 2007, but only three conditions pre-Excel 2007.

I am trying to use conditional formatting but I am running in to issues.
I have a single range which is populated based on user selection for an ActiveX ComboBox. What I am trying to do is highlight rows if the single range of cells contains duplicate values, but if the cell is blank, contains the word "Value", or does not match another cell in the range then leave the cell and row as is.
Basically if Cell B4 equals B46 then highlight both rows.
I have tried the following formulas with no success.
=IF(AND($B$4:$B$50="",$B$4:$B$50="Value"),0,COUNTIF($B$4:$B$50,$B$4:$B$50,0))
=IF(AND($B$4:$B$50="",$B$4:$B$50="Value"),0,MATCH($B$4:$B$50:$B$4:$B$50,0))
=IF(AND($B$4:$B$50="",$B$4:$B$50="Value"),0,IF($B$4:$B$50=$B$4:$B$50,1,0))
I'm still learning excel and could use some help on this. Thanks in advance!

I suspect what you want is a CF formula rule something like:
=AND(NOT(OR(B4="",B4="Value")),COUNTIF(B$4:B$50,B4)>1)
applied to B4:B50.
Thank you everyone who provided a response. I was able to develop a solution that worked based on your responses. The following is the solution I used:
1.) Created a conditional format highlighting duplicate values.
2.) Created a conditional format using the below formula to highlight duplicate rows, ignore blank rows, and ignore rows with "Value" in cell B4:
=AND(COUNTIF($B$4:$B$63,$B4)>1,LEN($B4)>0,LEN($B4)-4>0)
Thank you once again for everyone's assistance.

I need to compare and find differences between to ranges of data as per below:
My Question is if I can do it without using VBA, using Conditional formatting instead.
Many Thanks in Advance
i will give you the answer for one side, hope you'll figure out the other side. :)
create a new formatting rule for selected cells.
Here is the formula =ABS(VLOOKUP($F5,$B:$C,2,0)) <> ABS($G5)
apply the formatting rule to the selected cells.
For the other side, create a new formatting rule, using the same formula - just adjust the formula to mirror the lookup, and apply the rule to the correct cells. Have fun!
I am using Excel2010 and I have the following Countifs statement, which works.
=COUNTIFS(Apr2014Fixed!$T:$T,"1",Apr2014Fixed!$Q:$Q,"*No*",Apr2014Fixed!$R:$R,"*Yes*")
I want to see which rows in my spreadsheet were counted, so that I can determine whether I've done everything right. I tried conditional formatting with the following formula, but I know I'm not using it properly.
=AND(COUNTIFS(Apr2014Fixed!$T:$T,"1",Apr2014Fixed!$Q:$Q,"*No*",Apr2014Fixed!$R:$R,"*Yes*")=3)
I don't understand what value I am looking to highlight. I thought =3 because I want all three conditions to be true for a case to be counted, but this didn't highlight anything. When I tried >3, it highlighted the entire spreadsheet.
Obviously, I have no idea how this works? Can anyone help, please?
To format rows across multiple columns, select the desired columns (in the screenshot I selected Q to T) and create a new conditional format with the formula
=AND($T1=1,ISNUMBER(FIND("No",$Q1)),ISNUMBER(FIND("Yes",$R1)))
I tried using steps identified here but realized that it refers to cells that have any formula in them. I would like to format based on one particular formula.
Is it possible to use conditional formatting to refer to a cell that only has a particular equation, for example an "IF" statement in the cell?
You don't mention what the formula is but do mention an IF statement so suggest (though clearly not Conditional Formatting in the conventional sense), HOME, Editing - Find & Select, Find what:
=*IF(*
Find All, Ctrl+A, and formatting of your choice.
Whenever I auto-generate subtotals in Excel, only the "subtotal" label is added in bold, not the result. I'd like to have the complete "subtotal" row in bold.
I'd tried the tutorial here but for some reason I cannot get the formula to work at all, i.e. nothing happens. I tried some other formulas myself but not even the simplest ones are working.
What formula should I use in conditional formatting to get the complete subtotal row in bold whenever it's added? I'm using Excel 2010.
Use the USerDefined function isBold described here: http://www.excelforum.com/excel-programming/398006-checking-whether-a-field-is-bold.html and conditional formatting via formula.
Alright, it was a rather simple problem: I used a comma instead of semicolon to seperate the arguments in the formula (I know...). Sorry to have wasted your time on question: a good night of sleep is all that it took :P
