How do I use conditional formatting to colour a cell when the date in one column matches the date in a row along the top of the chart? The coloured cell should be the cell that corresponds between the column and cell.

I need a formula to use in Conditional Formatting that will highlight the first cell in a row containing any value >0 and another formula that will highlight the last cell in a row containing any value >0. For example, my first row is C2:S2, where the first cell>0 is F2. I need a formula that will start looking in D2 and look until it reaches F2, where it will highlight that cell then move to row C3:S3. I am using Excel for Mac 2016.

I hope I explain this correctly C5 = todays date Column M = Has this formula =IF(I2="","",I2-C$5) it calculates the difference in days from a random date + it also has conditional formatting. Column I = The Random date Column F = Conditional formatting if M<8 its red and if M is between 30 and 8 and its yellow(same for column M) It works fine. I would like to have a button that will add a blank row below the row I’m working in and input the formula and conditional formatting accordingly. I have tried to record a macro and searched for advise but have had no luck. I hope you can help.

Hi, I am have an excel budget sheet with three important rows at the bottom. 1. a sum of each column. 2. a row with the copied value of the sum-value above to hava as a control. 3. a formula that subtract the above values (I would like this value to be zero as a control). To the first and third row I would like to have conditional formatting, coloring them red if they are not the right value (i.e: the 1st row to colour red if its not the same as thr 2nd row, and the 3rd row to colour red if its not zero). This contitional formatting only applied correct to three of my columns, and three colours red even if the values are correct.
