I have a calendar that takes info from another sheet.
On the info sheet, column "B" changes to green if column "I" has a date.
I would like to replicate that on the calendar if possible and I'm so stuck.
The calendar is LIVE and changes every month.
If you can help me create the conditional format, I would appreciate it.

Thank you

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Sort by date Sort by votes
It is a bit tricky without being able to see all the data that the various formulas, including the conditional formatting, refer to but does this work for you?

No but you can upload the file to Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive etc and provide a publicly shared link here. However, I am not inclined to try and look through a 'big' file that I am unfamiliar with.
Also many helpers choose not to download from unknown sources or are prevented from doing so by workplace security restrictions.

Why not make up a small dummy sample file and post the two relevant sheets with XL2BB?

In worksheet 'tester calendar' I have a formula to fin a specific # from worksheet '2024'
Excel Formula: 
=SUMIFS('2024'!B:B,'2024'!G:G,'tester calendar'!$J$2,'2024'!N:N,'tester calendar'!K5)

In worksheet '2024' I have a conditional format to make that number fill the cell RED
Excel Formula: 
=AND($L$2>$G6, (ISBLANK($I6)))

How can I make the cell in worksheet 'tester calendar' mimic what happens in worksheet '2024'

Thank you

To best of my knowledge we can't, so far, create CF rules based on another sheet. So I was thinking of some work around -
  • In any cell on worksheet 'tester calendar' use formula to test the rules on another sheet and it shall return True or False
  • Based on that true or false you can CF any cell in worksheet 'tester calendar'
Check this and revert.

Solution
I use multiple ways to format cells based on data in another sheet. But for that I need to understand -
  1. what these figures in Column B are?
  2. How are you going to use in future - means - some kind of analysis where you need to play around (addition subtraction) with figures?
Because the methods I use is only on cells where data is not used for analysis. And That's IMPORTANT to know

I took your advice into consideration, I made another column that would send me a result of BB compared to GG and then used a conditional format based on GG and worksheet 'calendar'.... Then I hid the new column.

Thanks
