1) I'm trying to use conditional formatting to highlight the lowest value in column D if the value in column C = "yes" and only if there are no other instances of that value. For example, if the lowest value in column D is 3 and the value in column C = yes but there is another instance of a 3 in column D and a "yes" in column C, then no cells should be highlighted. I have a conditional formatting formula built that is highlighting the lowest value in column D but doesn't take into account that the value in column C must = "yes". 2) If step 1 above is possible, can the conditional format formula in column D then be copied to column E?

I am experiencing a new glitch in excel that conditional formatting blank cells are registering as a 0 and will highlight, even if I include a format that says all blank cells have no formatting it still doesn't change. I have used the same conditional formatting previously and it does not do this.
