Hello,

I am trying to highlight the value "0" with conditional formating in consecutives cells (in the table) in the same row and in the same colunm like I done manualy in picture b3a.
The first value in the table is in cell B3.
I have this formula ="and(or((B3=D3,C3=b3),B3=0),or((E3=D3,F3=D3),b3=0)" but there something not working...
I know it's possible in a row but is it like I am trying?
Thank you.

Welcome to the Board!

You would also need to check the row above and the row below, i.e. for cell B3:
Excel Formula:
=AND(B3=0,OR(B2=0,B4=0,A3=0,C3=0))

Thank you.
I have this error with your formula, I had it also with others.
My table has data from $A$1:$BL$500+

It looks like you first data entry is in cell B2.
So, select the range B2:BL500, and go to Conditional Formatting, and enter this formula:
Excel Formula:
=AND(B2=0,B2<>"",OR(AND(A2=0,A2<>""),AND(C2=0,C2<>""),AND(B1=0,B1<>""),AND(B3=0,B3<>"")))
and choose your formatting option.

That seemed to work for me.

I always got this error.
I got Office Professional Plus 2016.
The formula can be right, I tried to modify to avoid the error but It pop up every time.

Try changing all the commas to semi-colons.

Thanks, the error is gone but the formula don't highlight anything.
I want to highlight only the consecutive cells in a row and in a collunm that have the value "0" (zero), like I did manually in the picture.

Can you post some sample data.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data that will allow us to copy/paste it to our Excel spreadsheets, so we can work with the same copy of data that you are. Instructions on using this tool can be found here: XL2BB Add-in

Note that there is also a "Test Here” forum on this board. This is a place where you can test using this tool (or any other posting techniques that you want to test) before trying to use those tools in your actual posts.

Once again you will need to change the comma to semi-colon
