I would like to add custom conditional formatting in Google Spreadsheets such that when the cell in ColumnA starts with Κυριακή then the whole row will be formatted.
Format, Conditional formatting..., Select your range width, eg A:Z, Format cells if..., Custom formula is:
=left($a1,7)="Κυριακή"
choose your Formatting style, Done.

Conditional formatting a cell is simple enough. It's also simple enough to conditionally format a single cell based on another single cell. What I'm not sure about is doing it for many cells in such a way that I don't have to format each individual cell. For example:
Suppose the cells in column A either have a string, or are blank. How can I set conditional formatting on the cells in column B, such that the formatting is only applied if the A column cell on the same row (ie, the adjacent cell) is blank?
So far, I've been working around this issue by wrapping the formulas of the cells in B with IF(ISBLANK(A1),0,"FORMULA"), then applying conditional formatting to the B cells based on whether the cell values equal 0. Is there a better solution than this?
Yes, in my opinion. For LibreOffice Calc select ColumnB, Format > Conditional Formatting..., choose Formula is and enter:
A1=""
then a style of your choice and OK.
You might want to reduce the upper limit of Cell Range.
Apply the condition to Column B:
And use the following formula:
=NOT(ISBLANK($A1))
This will result in something like this:
=NOT(ISBLANK(OFFSET($A$1, ROW()-1, 0, 1, 1)))
I have a column of cells in LibreOffice Calc with conditional formatting to apply a style to those cells.
The conditional formatting is programmed to format the cell if the following formula is true:
AND(B106=0,C106=0)
The trick is that instead of always evaluating this formula for row #106, I would like to evaluate the formula for the current row.
For example, in cell A1, I would like the conditional formula to be
AND(B1=0,C1=0)
And in cell A2, I would like the conditional formula to be
AND(B2=0,C2=0)
What I'm looking for is to program the entire column with a conditional formula like
AND(BCURRENTROW()=0,CCURRENTROW()=0)
but obviously that syntax is incorrect.
How can I accomplish this?
A conditional formatting based on a formula has two settings that determines where and how it applies.
First is the Cell Range to which it applies to. If this is
Range : A1:A1048576
then it applies to the whole column A.
Second is the formula itself. Precisely whether cell ranges in that formula are relative or absolute or mixed. As in all other formulas, a relative cell reference is A1 for example. A absolute cell reference is $A$1 for example. And mixed cell references could be $A1, where column A is absolute but row is relative, or A$1, where column is relative but row 1 is absolute.
So a conditional formatting applied to range A1:A1048576 and having formula AND($B1=0,$C1=0) should fulfilling your requirement. As you see the formula always gets columns B and C (absolute) but gets the row in which it is actually calculated (relative).
Example:
If you want to paint all row with a color when the column "B" CONTAINS a value, for example "XXX" you can do this:
Format-> Conditional Formatting (Add)
We select "formula" and we put:
SEARCH("XXX";$B2)>=0
We apply the style "Good" (To view selected rows in green)
And we select the matrix in we want actuate (important!), by example :
A2:H109
Now we see all the rows where the column B contains "XXX" in green.
enjoy !
So I have Sheet1 and Sheet2 (in one spreadsheet) where:
Sheet1 contains data from A:E
Sheet2 contains data from A:K
I need to lookup the Sheet1 B cells text in Sheet2 A cells and return Sheet2 J column value (which contains dates) and if Sheet2 date < TODAY then conditional formatting should apply.
I used this formula for conditional formatting:
VLOOKUP($B:$B,Sheet2!$A:$K,10,0)<TODAY()
This works well if I want to use it just to show the values but conditonal formatting are not applying to cells
Update:
I tried it with a simpler function. I have added the dates to the F column and used the following conditional formatting formula:
F:F<TODAY()
Still doesn't work.
PS: I made sure the formats are set to DATE where DATEs are present.
Try INDIRECT function according to advanced conditional formatting description:
Note: Formulas can only reference the same sheet, using standard
notation "(='sheetname'!cell)." To reference another sheet in the
formula, use the INDIRECT function.
Using conditional formatting in excel, I want to highlight the value in the range if matches with value given in cell B1.
Assuming the relevant range is as in example, select A1:A10 and HOME > Styles - Conditional Formatting, New Rule..., Use a formula to determine which cells to format and Format values where this formula is true::
=A1=B$1
Format..., select choice of formatting, OK, OK.
I have an OpenOffice Calc sheet containing a number of columns. Two of the columns are:
D (Gender)
F (Nationality)
Now, I want to highlight all the records which have Gender=Male and Nationality=UK.
I tried the following but it did not work:
$D='Male' AND $F='UK'
Can you please provide me an example of a formula which I can use to do this in the Conditional Formatting menu?
Select the columns you wish to apply the highlighting to. In Format - Conditional Formatting, for Condition 1 select Formula is and enter:
AND($D1="Male";$F1="UK")
choose a Style, OK.
Highlight the data in row D, then from the conditional formatting menu, choose 'Format cells that contain', 'Cell value', 'Equal to', ="Male". Select a format, 'OK', 'Apply', 'OK' and you're done.
