Conditional Highlight

[Colin Hayes]

Hi All

In column B I have a list of products :

Product A
Product B
Product C
Product D
Product E

and so on.

In column C there are various conditions listed one by one against each
product :

In Stock
Out of Stock
Pending

What I'd like to do is to highlight a Product once all of the three
conditions is detected.

For example ,

B C

Product A In Stock
Product A Pending

Would produce no highlight , but

B C

Product A In Stock
Product A Pending
Product A Out Of Stock

Would make the all the relevant text highlight to show that the three
conditions were present for Product A.

Can someone help?

Grateful for any help.

try this formula in Conditional Formatting:
=SUMPRODUCT((MATCH($B$1:$B$100&$C$1:$C$100,$B$1:$B$100&$C$1:$C$100,0)=ROW($1:$100)*($B$1:$B$100=B1)*($C$1:$C$100<>""))*1)=3

Hi Claus

OK Thanks again for this. It works perfectly.

Although I'm applying it to the whole sheet it highlights entries in
only one column rather then the whole row , but this is fine.

then you have to write the column of B1 absolute:
=SUMPRODUCT((MATCH($B$1:$B$100&$C$1:$C$100,$B$1:$B$100&$C$1:$C$100,0)=ROW($1:$100)*($B$1:$B$100=$B1)*($C$1:$C$100<>""))*1)=3

Hi Claus

An extra thing I thought I could add myself but have failed :

I have a Quantity column E. I need the formatting for the rows to revert
to 'Automatic' when the quantity is 0. I thought I could add an extra
Condition to cover this , but it doesn't seem to work.

Effectively it would ask Excel to format the relevant rows if the
formula above AND the relevant quantity is above 0. Rows below 1 would
not count as part of the 3 required for the formatting.

Can this be done?

Thanks for your patience.

Hi Claus

Thanks for this. It worked well on the line at zero of course , but
leaves in place the other formatting. It's so complicated.

I have chosen red for my formatting. When the three criteria are met ,
and the cell in E is greater than zero , the three lines go red.
Correctly.

When I make one of the quantities 0 , then that line goes to automatic ,
and the other 2 stay red. Curious.

Ideally they would all go to automatic when one of the three no longer
meets the criteria , and all go red again when all three are above zero
in E.

This is a bigger mountain than I thought!

sorry, I misunderstood your problem.
Try:

Hi Claus

Sorry if I didn't explain well.

This combination would respond to conditional formatting : (I colour
red)

C D E

Product A In Stock 1
Product A Out Of Stock 4
Product A Pending 3


Three qualities for a single product , all quantities greater than 0.
All red.


This combination would *not* respond to conditional formatting

C D E

Product A In Stock 0
Product A Out Of Stock 4
Product A Pending 3

Three qualities for a single product , but all quantities not greater
than 0. None red


I hope it's clearer. Sorry for being tiresome.

I hope it's clearer. Sorry for being tiresome. I already changed
reference to B and C in your formula to match C and D with no joy.

Hi Claus

Thanks very much for this. I'm trying to adapt the conditional
formatting to count horizontally , rather than vertically.

I've added a 'Horizontal' sheet to the workbook , but I'm having trouble
adapting the formatting formula to read across rather than down. Can you
help?

The only difference would be that the quantity needed changed from 3 to
whatever is shown in H.


Thanks Claus I'm grateful.
