Highlighting a range of cells in a row using a conditional format

[Guest]

Is there a way to only highlight a range of cells in the row if a condition
exsists rather than the entire row? For instance row 1 contains data from
A1:J1. If a condition exsists in A1 only highlight A11 and if the condition
exsists in G1 only highlight G1:J1

Hi
try the following:
- select A11
- enter your condition. e.g. the formula
=$A1=1
- repeat for cells G1:J1

Thanks Frank, but I would like to highlight the range of cells with a color
(yellow) if the contants of lets say A1 contain any combination of (1) (2) or
both.

Hi
not really sure what you want to check. What do you mean with this
combination?

Hi
then just change the condition to:
=($A1=1)+($A1=2)

or if you have these values in brackets use.
=($A1="(1)")+($A1="(2)")
