Separately they work fine, but I have a bunch so combining these rules would be fantastic.

Code:
=AND($M101="Male", NOT($H101="TN"))

Code:
=$H101="KY"

Both my attempts won't work :(

Code:
=OR($H101="KY"),AND($M101="Male", NOT($H101="TN"))

Code:
=AND($M101="Male", NOT($H101="TN")),OR($H101="KY")

Is there ANY possible way to combine these rules?
 

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Tell us in words how the conditional formatting should decide whether to apply the format or not.

What cell are you giving us these attempts for?

Perhaps.

=OR($H101="KY",AND($M101="Male",$H101<>"TN"))

Perhaps.

=OR($H101="KY",AND($M101="Male",$H101<>"TN"))

Friggen Fantastic!

Nice touch, I didn't think about '<>' and removing that one bracket was the key!

Now I was able to do them all! Even with a legitimate already OR statement!

Code:
=OR($H101="TN", $H101="OK")
Code:
=AND($M101="Male", NOT($H101="KY"))

It works perfectly here too!

Code:
=OR($H101="TN", $H101="OK",AND($M101="Male", $H101<>"KY"))

Thank you AGAIN Norie!
