Conditional formatting for merged cells
I have these two rules for a set of cells:
The full formulas are
=$AB27=""
and
=LOWER($AB27)=ok
I thought this would make it so that if "ok" (with any capitalization) was entered into the the merged cell, the cell would turn green, but apparently not:
How would I have to adjust my conditional formatting to get the results I want, i.e. the merged cell turning green if "ok" is entered into it?

I've tried to replicate your situation but the same just works for me. Maybe you have some space entered in the cells too?
Also, you can do the same in a more simple way: generally text comparison in Excel is case-insensitive, also it formats the whole merged cells as if it would be just a single one, so you can do this too:
