Look for specific row based on conditional formatting rules


I want to look for a row that contains 6 conditional formatting rules in the column set. I set one rule for each column, each of these rules have a specific color or use the same color, and I need to find on the sheet when all the 6 colors from the 6 columns are encountered in the same row and either color that row or take me to that row.

Here's the image of the supposed row that all 6 conditional formatting rules are found within it.


Solution

  • Create another column and use =IF( AND( logic1, logic2, ...), "TRUE", "FALSE"), putting the logic for each other the conditional formats accordingly.

    This will result in a single column spelling out for you which rows fulfill each condition. You can filter the entire table by TRUE and have a quick list of what you're looking for.
