**hey ho! :-)**

I'm trying to get a rule in excel that combines two conditions:

* a specific cell has to be 0 [in this case: E9]
* the cell that should be formatted has the value "X" inside. [in this case: G9]

I tried these versions:

```
=AND(E9=0;EXACT(G9,"X")))

=AND(E9=0;IF(EXACT(G9,"X"),0,1)=0)

```

But excel doesn't accept this. There must be a mistake that I don't see.

Maybe you can help me?
Best regards!
