I'm referring to a post I tried to solve:http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...ml#post2227328
NO need to read. Try the attachement instead.
Steps done:
Select Column D
CF function =D1<A1
Select Column A
CF function =A1<D1
If I select cell D3 and look at the CF then I see:
CF: =D1<A1
where I would like to see
CF: =D3<A3
I remember this was the case in <=XL 2003? (now using 2010 beta)
I have one column that contains a monetary amount (column AQ) , and another that contains text reading either "inflows" or "outflows" (column AC)
When AC says "inflows", AQ should be positive, and when AC says "Outflows", AQ should be negative.
I need the text in column AQ (the monetary amount) to become red when the the opposite is true.
i.e. When AQ is negative and AC says "Inflows", AQ should become red. And when AQ is positive and AC says "Outflows", AQ should become red.
I am looking for the code to keep certain cells from being rested on, they can be clicked on but in order for you to view the formula in the cell you have to hold down the mouse button otherwise it will move you over to the cell next to it. I was using another worksheet a while ago and was trying to view the formulas but when I clicked on the cells holding them it would move me to the next cell, the only way I could view them was to hold the mouse button down as soon as I would release it it would be gone! I do not want to protect the sheet, if there is another way to hide formulas I am open to all ideas!
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to check the conditional state for a specific condition for a specific cell.
For example a cell has 1 or more conditions.
A condition will toggle to a condition if true or false etc.
The specifics is i use red (color 255) if a cell has not met a specific condition (of 1 or more conditions)
So if the cell is mandatory to be populated, and is blank, it will be red, if not it will be something else.
But i want to loop all visible cells with conditional formatting, and where the cell has a condition when true will show interior color = to 255 return the cell address.
To msg the user where data entry is still required etc.
I'm having trouble with the two formulas working in conjuction with each other.
Condition 1:
=(MOD(ROW(),2)=0)*(COUNTA(3:3))
Condition 2:
=TODAY()>=A1
"Condition 1" seems to override "Condition 2"? Ever see that?
I just realized that some of my comments on a worksheet are being cut off or not viewable. By Default the Comment is displayed to the Right of its cell. I have a Scroll Lock to prevent users from scrolling off the work area. Some of the comments are being displayed past this scroll area and the user is unable to read the comments as they are being cut off or being displayed beyond the scroll area.
Is there anyway to reposition or set the area that these comments are displayed? For Example, to the Left of the cell so that they are able to be viewed. The Workbook is Protected and the Cells with comments are locked so the user won't be able to click on the cell. I found 2 Codes that would work if the user could either click on the cell or if the comment always visible(they are not)
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rng As Range
Dim cTop As Long
Dim cWidth As Long
Dim cmt As Comment
Dim sh As Shape
Application.DisplayCommentIndicator _
= xlCommentIndicatorOnly
Set rng = ActiveWindow.VisibleRange
cTop = rng.Top + rng.Height / 2 ................
Is it possible to use a formula to shade a cell dependent on a condition? I have tried an if formula (see below) but it is incorrect. =if('November 2006 SVOC'!B6>'March 2006 SVOC'!C6,'November 2006 SVOC'!B6 [red],if('November 2006 SVOC'!B6<'March 2006 SVOC'!C6,'November 2006 SVOC'!B6 [blue],))

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to perform a calculation in a cell that leaves the value 0 if before Feb 2014, changes to the value of another cell in Feb 2014 and leaves the value unchanged if after Feb 2014. I can get to the Feb 2014 value but after that month the value changes to 0.
The Cell formula that I am trying to use is as follows:
=IF(YEAR($A$3)<2014,"0",(IF(YEAR($A$3)>2014,H114,(IF(MONTH($A$3)<>2,H114,AA118)))))
A3 contains TODAY()
H114 is the cell being calculated
AA118 is the cell containing the calculated value for the current month.
I would like to format a number of cells depending on the percentage of another cell.
I have a cell 'Seats" that has a number in it. In other columns, 'Stop1', 'Stop2', 'Stop3', are vaious numbers. I would like to format the Stop cells according to how close (or over) the number is that is in the 'Seats' cell. For example, if Seats is 30, Stop 1 is 15, it would be a medium red. Stop 2 is 30 (or over), it would be red. If Stop 3 is 5, then white. Basically a percentage scale of color depending on the number in the Seats field.
I have a workbook (column K) set with the following format conditions:-
Cond.1 - =(I3="declined")
Cond. 2 - =(G3>0)
Cond. 3 - =(K3
There is a table [A8 TO D60] and a column alongside, where the months of the year are listed. In a particular independent cell, the name of any month can be chosen and entered.
The table rows preceding the chosen month, have to be shaded. When a different month is chosen, the shading should now cover the new set of rows preceding this different month and so on.
I am using the following code that I got from this forum to color tabs. But I can only get it to do two colors. Is there a way to get three conditional colors of tabs?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Select Case .Range("D13").Value
Case Is < 20
.Tab.Color = vbGreen
Case Is > 20, Is < 30
.Tab.Color = vbBlue
Case Is > 30, Is < 100
.Tab.Color = vbRed
End Select
End With
End Sub
I work as a teacher and my role is the analysis of data, something I can do fairly easily using my Excel knowledge but I want to take it a step further (maybe this isn't the best was and another suggestion would be great.
The spreadsheets I use have 400 students in columns A (first name) and B (last name), in columns C to AC I have the students targets for the 26 subjects/courses we offer, a student would only study between 10 and 14 of these so in a row there would be blanks. In cells AE to BE I have the students current grades (those which show current situation/progress). The first student would be in ROW 2.
I want to show whether a student is below, equal to or exceeding their target and have done this using Conditional Formatting (3 separate conditions) using RED for below, White for Equal to and Green for Exceeding.
I now want to count how many of each colour there are in each row to quickly work out how many of the subjects the students are falling behind in so we can focus our efforts on these.
I would like to change the color of a cell to either green, yellow, or red based on a few conditions. One of the conditions would be based on whether a check box was checked or not.

I have tried below, but it did not work...

I have a column of numbers that are already formatted as text. Some of the data is duplicate which is fine. It's like a list of 6000 numbers. I want to conditionally format the column so that I can fill the cell with a color as long as it stays the same number, but if it changes to a new number make it a different color. I don't need a lot of colors. Two is fine. TI have Excel 2010.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am now trying this using Conditional Formatting in Excell 2000; so limited to 3 conditions. However I cannot get it work with multiple conditions:-
Values;-
A34 = Heritage Rly Assn Business Development Committee
A35 = North London Rly Historical Society
C34 = 23/09/2009 (formatted as WEEKDAY DD MMM YYYY)
D34 = 23/09/2009 13:30 (formatted as HH:MM)
In Cell C34
Format condition 1:-
=A34<>A35 , Format Bottom Border
Format condition 2:-
=AND(WEEKDAY(C34)>1,WEEKDAY(C34)<7,HOUR(D34)<18,A34<>A35), Format Bottom Border and Yellow pattern
Format condition 3:-
=AND(WEEKDAY(C34)>1,WEEKDAY(C34)<7,HOUR(D34)<18), FormatYellow pattern
In cell c34 Format condition 1 activates NOT condition 2.
In another cell, C13, condition 3 correctly operates; in this row A13 = A14. Condition 1 works i.e. the cells A1 and A2 are the same only cell A2 has the bottom border and if Cell A2 and A3 are different there is a bottom border in both cells. There must be something wrong with my formula in condition 2 but I can't see what; condition 2 is just condition 1 amd 3 amalgamated.
The condition 2 should read:
If the date is not a Saturday or Sunday in cell C34 and the time is before 18:00 hours in Cell D34 and the name in the "a" cell i.e. A34 does not equal the name in the "a" cell below this one i.e. A35 put in a bottom border and colour the cell yellow.

Date Ressolved
5/16/2013
5/17/2013

How do I make this change, If the date resolved column has not data entry, but todays date is past the due date cloumn data entry change cell red and insert text to read "past date due"
A1=text A2 will either be "yes" or "No"
What I want to do is format A1 by either a fill colour or text colour. Any type of format I guess. If A2 is "Yes" then A1 is green and If A2 is "No" then A1 is red.
This is the most simplest conditional formatting which is working except on some cells. I want to compare two columns cells ex : if A=B , then format A as green.
Its working, the "formula" and "cell value contains" everything except for few cells. Cell B has formula's in it related to other cells. When i enter values in other cells, Cell B computes but A refuses to format "green".
If I just enter same value[ex 1, 1]in both the cells sans formula ,it highlights A green . I want to know , if the formula in cell B is causing the errors in formatting and if it is
I downloaded the checkbook register from Microsoft.com and am trying to add a
few cells at the end to quickly calculate my outstanding debits and credits
so that I can balance my statements automatically. I figured out how to write
the formula properly (eventually), but the cells will not take on the
currency format no matter what I do. I have tried pasting the format from the
other cells within the register, tried clearing the format and reapplying the
currency format, tried accounting, etc.
I have a cell that has a conditional formatting of Cell Value< 90 the cell value is based off a formula which is
=LEFT(E48,LEN(E48)-1)
which when it comes out to me less then 90 I need it to color red. But it does not is there something that I need in the conditional formatting to tell that its a number?

Is it possible to apply formatting to a formula in a cell when you are combining that formula with text? As an example, I want to format the following as a percentage: ="The result is"&" "&(a2/a1)
Currently, it is returning [e.g.] ...result is 0.5, instead of ...result is 50%
Is there a Countif that works on the criteria of the font being 'Red' or 'Bold' ? This needs to work based on conditional formatting I have on the cells in question.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a large spreadsheet with a number of columns that are set up for conditional formatting. For example a column of "BUY"'s and "SELL"'s where the "BUY"s are formatted with the default "light green fill, dark green text". I have other columns that are conditionally formatted using a formula. When I base the result on a formula I don't seem to have the option to use the default formats. Is it possible to use the defaults or maybe even how to customize my format to look like the default? It would look a lot better if I had a uniform red/green style throughout the sheet.

I conditional format the top number which in this case is 65, how do I highlight the number directly above it? Either by another conditional format or some formula that picks the number out. I've tried HLOOKUP and VLOOKUP, but its giving me spurious results.
I want to set a conditional format to cell A1 with a value in cell P1 When the value in P1 is between 0 and 10 the conditional value in P1 should be set.
Note
cell A1 is also set with a conditional format to put a border around it when there's a value in A1 (cellvalue is not equal to " ")
So the formula referencing P1 would be a second condition.
I have this fairly simple formula which decides whether to shade a cell or not
=AND($X$1<>"TBD",R3<>"None",AC3="Y")
This is set in cell R3 and I want to copy it all the way down the cells in the R column. However, when I copy & paste (and copy and paste using paste special, formatting) the R3 and AC3 cell references do not update to match their relevant rows. eg If I highlight cell R26 the conditonal formatting formula still refers to cell R3 and AC3, not R26 & AC26. I'm using Excel 2010 but I don't recall this happening in 2003.
