Formula for Conditional Formatting in Tables

    [xpost]

    [/xpost]


    How do I write formulas rules that are based upon multiple columns and/or rows in a table (not a usual/normal range)?

    Following is a simple example (my actual data has >1,000 rows and many columns) and my actual conditions are more complex.

    When I insert/delete/reorder new rows/columns I do not want to update the conditional formatting formula so I'm using named ranges for the columns (i.e. =Table1[[#All],[Date]], etc. )

    I need to highlight the value in Amt2 if it is not the same as Amt1. If Amt1 is empty or blank don't highlight Amt2.

    Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. You'll find people are disinclined to respond to cross-posts because they may be wasting their time solving a problem that has been solved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser)to the cross-post. Expect cross-posts without a link to be closed a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us help you!
