Excel: Apply Conditional Formatting with Multiple Conditions

Often you may want to apply conditional formatting to cells based on multiple conditions in Excel.

In the new window that appears, click Use a formula to determine which cells to format, then type in the following formula into the box:

=IF(AND(B2>10, B2

Then click the Format button and choose a fill color to use, then click OK:

Each value in the points column that is greater than 10 and less than 20 will automatically be highlighted:
