I have a sheet where I need to highlight cells in column Y based on a word being present in column G and the value of Y being greater than 0.2
I tried using =AND(G2:G1048576="Draw",Y2:Y1048576>0.2) but it generates an error
What is the correct syntax for what I want?
It is basically column G from row 2 showing the word Draw and column Y from row 2 being greater than 0.2
Thanks in advance

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Hit CTRL-G (or Command-G on Mac) to select your range, I can't imagine you're actually going to use that many rows, but select Y2:Y10000 or whatever.
Go into Conditional Formatting and make this your formula:
=AND(G2="DRAW",Y2>0.2)
It will automatically adjust that formula to reflect whatever row it's on.

Cheers Scott. It's almost identical to what I had, except I put the entire range. yes you're right, doubt it will ever get that far down, but really just wanted to select the entire column from G2 down
That works exactly as expected, so thanks very much
