Hi All,

So i need some help, i am stuck on this, Basically i have a spreadsheet where i have formatted the columns to go light green if i type a "y" in the field.

What i need help with is how to change another field so that if the other field says y then i also want that field to turn light green.

Ultimately, i then need to do a sum to add up the figures in the field that are light green

Where it shows Price(H column), would like this to turn green if column N has y in it.

I then need to add up the total of all prices then showing in the light green

Hope this makes sence.

thank you for your help

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
HI,

You Should keep the 2 separate.

You can use a simple sumif function to sum values where column n is y, and leave the conditional for matting as is, or add further rules to highlight other cells using the same criteria if required.

Eg, =SUMIF(N2:N5,"y",H2:H5)
