Is it possible to do a conditional formating based on a value being entered into the first cell of a row?
Basically when a date is entered into a cell in column A, I want the cells in that same row (A-J) to have a border, even if B-J do not have any value entered into them.
I have created a drop down box that allows me to choose multiple different Text Options. Example: Cell B4 has dropdown that lets me choose the Text Options, "House", "Car" and "Truck".
Next, I have 5 or so other columns underneath with their own text. What I want to do is have different cells highlight themselves depending on what is in Cell B4.
Example, if "House" is selected in B4, I want cells B7 and B9 to highlight. If "Car" is selected, I want cells B7, B8, and B10 to highlight. If "Truck" is highlighted, I want cells B9-B11 to highlight. Is this possible to do? I've tried using If/Then statements, but those don't seem to work for this type of thing.
I am trying to create conditional formating of a cell based on the value of another cell whish is linked to another sheet. I an using the "The formula is =$AA$30=1" where the cell AA30 is the cell linked to the other sheet. the problem is I have to do thiss for approx 200 cells ie =$AA$30=1, =$AB$30=1, =$AA$31=1, =$AB$31=1 --- =$AZ$42=1. Do I have to enter the formulea for each cell or is there a way to automate this?

For example, I want cell A5 to become highlighted if BOTH cell B1=Loan 1 AND cell B5=Yes. Here is a mockup of what I'm talking about incase it makes it easier to understand. I'm using Excel 2007.

I could write a formula in conditional formating, so that it works for 3 colors. The problem is now that i can make this only for 3 different colors in conditional formating of excel. Is there a possibility for making this for 6 colors?
Is it possible to return NA() to cell A10 if A10>A9, without adding a 3rd cell ??
I am trying to have conditional formatting of cells apply only if another cell is blank in 2007. A3 has a formatting of =MOD(ROW(),2)=1, then =AND (A3<>"",A3+15<=$G$1) to change the color based on date and finally =AND(A3<>"",A3+30<=$G$1) to again change the color again by date. What I would like to do is for the cells in columb A to change only if corresponding columb B cell is empty, without using macros if possible.

how I could have a range of B15-F15 to place Today's System-date in the Cell: A1, anytime anything is entered in that range?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an excel document that has one columb (I) of cells that changes color depending on a specific date (columb h) . The cells that have conditional formating to change the row color based on where it is ( =MOD(ROW(),2)=1), stays blank and the proper color until columb A is filled in. The others show up red. How would I code/format the lines that aren't included in the conditional formating to always show white when no value is entered in columb a.
View 9 Replies View Relatedhow to use the conditional format tool, but now the company i designed the spreadsheet for, wants me to implement a change. I'm attacking a copy of the spreadsheet so you can see the problem more easily. Now what I've been asked todo is the following.
1. When the stock quantity (Column H) goes below the re-order level (Column K), they want the entire row to change font colour from blue to red. Now I know how i can change the colour of one cell, like ive done in the example, but I'm not sure how to change the entire row colour. If this can be done with conditioning formating then great, but if not then i'm stuck, and relying on your generosity in helping me out.
i have 2 columns the first is the transaction number and second column is the description
i want to make that all even transaction number will highlight the whole row... how do i make that with conditional formatting? or are there other alternatives?
I want to set up formula in conditional formating so that when:
$AF6 = "CA" the color is red
or
if $AF6 = ("GA","ME","PR") then the color is blue
what I came up with is Condition 1
= ($AF6 ="ca") [which will turn the cell red]
Condition 2
="OR($AF6={""GA"",""ME"",""PR""}, "")" [which doesn't do anything]
I have a spreadsheet
B4:B193 - place

N9:N93 - place
P9:P93 - value
Q9:Q93 - name
What i am looking for is this:
If value in cell in column D is >=90 then relevant cell in column B, D and F background green
If value in cell in column D is less =80 then relevant cell in column B, D, and F background dark blue
If value in cell in column D is less =70 then relevant cell in column B, D, and F background light blue
If value in cell in column D is less =50 then relevant cell in column B, D, and F background orange
If value in cell in column D is less

Asks almost exactly the question I have, but I can't make heads or tails out of the answers, I'm guessing becasue I have Excel 2003 and not 2007 as mentioned in the replies.
In column "A" I have a number; column "B" the formula =A1 copied on down and in column "C" either a 1 or 2 or a 3.
If the number in column "C" is a 1 then the font in the same cell in Column "B" should be black, 2 Blue and 3 Red.
I'm thinking this should be very simple, but so far it's not turning out that way. )-:
I have been trying to perform a conditional format using a date value.
Example:
Condition 1 =IF(L14
if its possible to run conditional formating on graphs, I can do this fine on the actual data
i.e. Have a bar chart with a number of bars all the same colour and just wanted to have the bars change to red if they drop below a certain percentage.

I am working on code breaking, and am working on trying multiple letter combinations, and was wondering if I could spell check the results and have that identify letter combinations that ARE words.
Been hunting around the forums but cant seem to find quite what I want.
I want to specify the background of a cell to be red if the text in that cell contains a specific word.
e.g. cell a1 will have the text 'Rest of World' (without quotes). I want this to show as red if it contains the word 'of'.
Of course the cell may contain other words but this illustrates what I'm looking to achieve.
I tried the following conditional formula but this does not work:
=IF(SEARCH("of",H3)>1,1,0)
I have tried a variety of if & and type statements but I cannot get this 2 conditional format to work. Review attached spreadsheet.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having many difficulties getting conditional formatting using the match function to work correctly in my excel document.
What I would like to accomplish is as follows in the 3Q09 tab. If a subdivision name is found in C-62 through C-70 and a match is found for the subdivision name in AB-24 to AB-66 I would like it so the AB-24 to AB-66 Subdivision name is bolded for every match. I removed the function formulas from the 3q09 tab I used to have since they didnt work and I do not want to confuse anyone.
This is correctly done on the "Working Correctly" Tab included in the same file, so please view this for clarification if you need it. Why it works on one tab and not the other simply baffles me.
I looked around the forum for a answer but none are quite the same. AA2 contains a date. AN2 contains a Pass or Fail based on =IF(AH4<60,"FAIL",IF(AJ4<60,"FAIL",IF(AL4<60,"FAIL","PASS"))).
Now even if those above fields are empty and no date is in AA2 "PASS" still shows up in AN2. I used =$AA$5="" to make AN2 turn white if AA2 had no date in it. I am unable to copy the formatting along the rest of the AN column without it all refering to just AA2. Is there a way to make it copy and correct the formating like it does with formulas? I had planned to due the same thing with the AO column that contains "DUE" if the person has not taken a test in 180 days. =IF(AA2<=(TODAY()-180),"DUE",IF(AA2<=(TODAY()-150),"CLOSE",IF(AN2="FAIL","RETEST","")))
I have a table I use visually, and I put it in a spreadsheet. Instead of finding a table value based on row and column label decisions, I use it as follows. I decide the row by matching exactly the height, h = 8 ft. In that row, I match the next larger value of 10 kips, in this case the value is 12.72; I then pick the column header label, in this case the value is 4 x 8.
I don't know how to make"B8:L8" equivalent to "B"&3+row : "L"&3+row in the 2nd Match formula?
is there a way to merge cells when conditional formating them

I have a list of numbers say in column A, but when the number "41", "25", "90", or "92" is in that column, I want a text message to print 6 columns to the right of it (same row) that says "service".
I have a worksheet that I would like to color a range of cell within a row whenever the value of a certain cell in that row changes. For example, if cell A3 have a value of East that row color will be Blue with white fonts, if value is West the row color will be Green with Black fonts, if value is North the row color will be Red with Yellow fonts. This should apply to any row whenever the value is Column A is changed.
i have a list of customers with various information, i would like to rank these customers 1 to 5 and change the colour of the cells dependant on there rank.
Conditional formatting allows me too do this but is limited to 3 formats.
I have Columns A-K filled with data and want the condition to be set on column B if Column B meets a requirement it will then colour that Row (A-K)
So for example Row 3:
B3 = the requirement to change colour to red so cells A3:K3 will turn red
B4 = the requirement to change colour to gree so cells A4:K4 will turn red
and this must go down to row 1000 or whatever it may be.
I have three attendance columns M:O which will contain the number of viisits per month. I am averaging these columns in column P. I am using the following formula to calculate the averages of three columns using Windows XP and Excel 2003.
=IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(IF(M5:O50,M5:O5))),"",AVERAGE(IF(M5:O50,M5:O5)))
The formula works fine as I initially started to remove the error message from the zero values. My problem started when I created a conditional format to color the entire row yellow, based upon the formula in column A
=IF(ISERROR(IF(P24
I have an excel file with 5500 records. I would like to have excel "color code" the rows based on a field's value
What I would like to do is have the value in column Y is:
*NO* or "T/P" (note there are *'s in the value) to have it formatted with Grey shading/Red text
"N/A" apply a different color shading
and if "yes" apply a 3rd shading
Note, that I would like to have the entire row and not just the Col Y cell formatted.
How can I do this? Would this slow down Excel alot?
