In conditional formatting you can select a range of cells such as A1:C3 go to highlighted cell rules and equal to, so that for example any 0 would be red.

But I want to combined this condition with another one and so I have to write my own formula using and AND for example I tried:

=AND($A$1:$C$3=0, $D$5=5) 

But this will apply the condition to all the cells in the range only if all the cells in the range equal 0 and D5 is equal to 5.

However, I want it to only apply it to the cells that equal 0 without having to make a rule for every cell in the range.

Use:

=AND(A1=0,$D$5=5)

The conditional formatting will iterate the range itself. One rule for the whole range with the formula relatively referencing the upper left cell.
