New Conditional Formatting option - Custom formula is
Hi Yogi, 

    I'm wondering if you can help me implement a conditional formatting concept.

    I have a spreadsheet that tracks employee hours via an email sent to my email address. Subject "Hi" for In and "Bye" for Out.  This information is pulled from gmail and put into a google sheet row.  I would like to create a condition where the background will turn RED should an employee clock in but forget to clock out. Or, should they forget to clock in but remember to clock out.  

Here's what I imagine:
If("user" & "Hi" on "date" ) and (no("user" & "Bye") on same date) then turn background red
ex. Color Background RED: IF(A2:A, A2:A, "John", B2:B, Hi, 4/8/14) and NO(A2:A, A2:A, "John", B2:B, Bye, 4/8/14) 

Thank you for your expertise.

John
