Conditional Formatting Based on Adjacent Range Cell Value

Question

HI I couldn't figure this out how to do this Conditional Formatting . I can understand i have to use AND formula, Tried a lot with AND formula but couldn't figure this out.

I want to color Delivery Dates based on Days. Delivery Date is in K Column and Days in M Column . First i select Delivery Dates (To be Formatted) then Tried this Formula =and($M7:$M16<=9,$M7:$M16>=1) . But it didn't worked.

i want to Color all Delivery Dates which in Between 9 and 1 Days.

Please Help. enter image description here

You need to specify only one cell in your formula. Try =AND($M7<=9,$M7>=1)

The principle of Conditional Formatting is as below. The formula will apply to the top-left cell of the range you given. And it offsets to other cells in your range. Therefore, for column K7 , knowing the value of M7 is enough to determine that K7 should be colored or not.

BTW, I suggest you that don't just tell us not working , but state more clearly about what's the result . It may be an error, an unexpected result, or nothing happened, or something else.
