Conditional formatting formula not working

Question

My conditional formating formula is ignoring one of the conditions. I have 3 conditions but one is being ignored.

My table looks like this and I am trying to highlight the charge sell according to if charge is above or below a pre-determined amount. The amount is conditional on grade and row label

Row label .      Grade .         Charge
Core .            Specialist .     115
Unsocial .        Trainee          56
Core .            Trainee .        67
Unsocial .        Consultant .     110
Unsocial          Specialist .     114

I have tried

=AND(A2="Core",B2="Trainee",C2<=111)

The formula is working with the charge and row label condition but not the grade condition as it highlights rows with the wrong grade.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Answer 1

It's not clear on what you want to 'highlight' but if you want the row from A:C then select A2:C6 as the Applies To:: and use

=AND($A2="Core", $B2="Trainee", $C2<=111)

That should highlight A4:C4. All conditional formatting rules are relative to the cell in the top left corner of the Applies To:: range. If you are covering multiple columns then you have to make the columns in your formula absolute. If they remain relative, C2 sees the formula as,

'example of the WRONG formula
=AND(C2="Core", D2="Trainee", E2<=111)
