Conditional Formatting To Validate Selection

Rate this:
(2/5 from 3 votes)
HappyThe simplest approach here is to use a conditional formatting formula in cell E5 to validate that values in both C5 and D5 have been selected.  If the length of both selections is 2 a conditional formatting formula for cell E5 could be:
Formula Is: =LEN(E5)<4

Alternatively a more complete formula could be:
Formula Is: =OR(C5="",D5="")

The format can then be applied such as coloring the cell red or text, border highlighting as desired.
