Greetings,
I have two rows with multiple date type columns.
I need to added a conditional formatting where, if the date in row is greater than the date in other row, the cell with greater date needs to be highlighted.
Someone Kindly help.
Thank you
Hi,
Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment to accomplish it without a helper column, but it's a great idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
Can you maybe share some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help.
Have a fantastic day!
Best,

Its actually quite simple. There are two tasks, Task A and Task B. Theoretically, Task B must start once Task A is finished. But sometimes Task B starts even before Task A starts. Also, Task A is a milestone i.e., it takes place only for one day.
I just need to conditionally format the start date cell of Task B (say highlight it) if it starts before Task A.
Happy to help!
You'd have to add a so-called helper column with a formula to show that task B starts before task A.
Would that work?
Could you please elaborate. It would be helpful.
Try something like this.
=IF(ISBLANK(B@row); ""; IF(A@row > B@row; "True"))
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=IF(ISBLANK(B@row), "", IF(A@row > B@row, "True"))
Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Did it work and make sense?
Hope that helps!
The solution you have provided works. But I have more than 400 rows in each sheet. And the tasks are not equally spaced. So, is it possible to write an equation such that, if it encounters a blank cell in the previous cell, it has to move to another cell. and keep moving until it encounters a non empty cell.
Excellent!
How would you want to use the check for an empty cell and why? What's the use case?
Hello. I need to send a sheet to multiple different people and I want them to only be able to interact with their specific row. Is this possible? eg: 10 rows(person A, comment) I want Row 1 to go to person A and for them to only see their row and only comment in their specific section, Row 2 → person B, etc, etc. Any help…

I've got a sheet set up with multiple tasks assigned to different people. When printing the sheet the comments are all listed at the bottom of the sheet rather than under the relevant tasks. Is there a setting that allows the comments to be printed under each task ?
