Excel Conditional Formatting Formula

Question

I am trying to make a column do this: so lets say If the score of 4 is made from a 2 x 2 then it is green. If the score of 4 is made from a 4 x 1 or a 1 x 4 then it is yellow.

I am done the formula for the green and the yellow but it only happens once. So if I change a 2 x 2 to 4 x 1. It will stay green. Not change to yellow.

Formula for Green (2x2): =IF(G31=4,IF(D15=2,IF(F15=2,0,1),1),0)

Formula for Yellow (4x1, 1x4): =IF(G31=4,IF(D15=4,IF(F15=1,0,1),1),0)

Please help me work this one out. Thank you. enter image description here

Tried the formula but does not work, even if I remove every other formula: enter image description here

Answer 1

Use a combination of AND and OR

Formula for Yellow (4x1, 1x4) =AND($G31=4, OR($D15=1, $D15=4))

Formula for Green (2x2) =AND($G31=4, $D15=2)

EDIT

As per your screenshot, if you are trying to change a range, not just cell G31 , use the following:

Formula for Yellow (4x1, 1x4) =AND($G1=4, OR($D1=1, $D1=4))

Formula for Green (2x2) =AND($G1=4, $D1=2)

Change the number 1 for the starting row of your cells (3, 4, 5 whatever) and set the Range to be =$G$1:$G$100 again changing the 1 and 100 for your start and end row.

I cannot stress enough, if your data does not start in row 1, you will need to edit the above to suit your needs.
