Conditional Formatting Help
I would like to apply conditional formatting for my spreadsheet with the
following: Condition 1: If Column C Font is Bold then bold entire row and interior shade entire row gray. Condition 2: If Column B is Blank then shade entire row light yellow and format entire row font italic. Can't seem to figure out the formula for this. Any help is greatly appreciated. |

Conditional Formatting Help
Hello Jacob,
Thanks for your reply. I really do need both conditions for my report. If conditional formatting won't work, is there an alternative?
