Conditional formatting for a worksheet that is vertical to another worksheet that is horizontal.

[sai1975]

I have one workbook. I have a data entry sheet where users can enter data (A3:H866) - vertical orientation. I also have a summary sheet (AB6:AM90) - horizontal orientation where I have used an Index formula to bring in values from the data entry sheets. The expectation is that if there is a value in Column G of the data entry sheet then the corresponding entry in the summary sheet should change the color of the font. I have tried to use conditional formatting but this colors the whole row with the same color instead of only coloring when a value is entered in Col G of the data entry sheet. Is there a way to use conditional formatting or other methods to dynamically increase the column reference so it's reading correctly every time. I've tried changing the absolute and relative references with no joy.

Rule 1
=ISBLANK('FY22-Forecast Data Sheet'!$G$603:$G$614)

Rule2
='FY22-Forecast Data Sheet'!$G$603:$G$614>0

I then tried the conditional formula individually and it works but this would take too much time and the users won't be happy doing it one at a time.

Rule 1:
=ISBLANK('FY22-Forecast Data Sheet'!$G627)
=ISBLANK('FY22-Forecast Data Sheet'!$G628)

Rule 2:
='FY22-Forecast Data Sheet'!$G627>0
='FY22-Forecast Data Sheet'!$G628>0

It would be great if you could help. Thanks.

Perhaps use Excel Tables feature?
and use the table as data source? Everything will adapt auomatically
