Conditional Formatting Based On Dependant Lists
Feb 16, 2009
Example.....
In the drop-down menu in col D I select the value “Egress”, then the drop-down list in col E is populated with the values of EgressCol. Now I select a value, lets say “Cash payment”. If at a later time I change the value of col D, lets say to “Ingress”, then “Cash payment” in col E doesn’t match the values available for IngressCol (the correspondent dynamic list for the Ingress value).
I need a conditional formatting formula that checks whether the value in col E is listed in the corresponding list of the value selected in col D. Request: I found this formula that works fine, but it gets Excel to work really slow.
=COUNTIF(INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE($D2," ","")&"Col"),$E2)=0

On attachment, I am trying to highlight values in column AA dependant on any values appearing in range AF4: AQ8 less 15 minutes. eg at present the value in AA29 is 13:22. I would like this cell to highlight as it is greater than 15 minutes before AH4 at 13:25.
The purpose of the sheet is to highlight any times in column AA that fall within 15 minutes of the start of a major meeting. These major meetings are pulled from another sheet, and a drop down box is used on that other sheet that then transposes the major meeting times to this sheet. I have tried an "Or' statement in a conditional format, however an error message appears around not using a range in a conditional format.

I have three drop-down boxes in 3 adjacent columns. Column 1 is free-choice, Columns 2 and 3 drop-downs are variable dependent on what is in Column 1. That works fine.
I have an issue with over-type but I can solve that with protection. Again fine.
BUT:
1. How do I make the user choose something i.e. not just leave the cell in column 2 or 3 blank by ignoring it (i.e. blank is an error but only after drop-down in column 1 is activated)
2. Also, if the user has completed the line (columns 1,2 and 3) and then changes column 1, columns 2 and 3 are now reading from the incorrect drop-down boxes (i.e. they are now in error but this is accepted and not flagged).

On sheet 1 I enter data such as:
Visit Date | Customer Name | Customer Number | Job Number | Product
On Sheet 2 i have a list of our 130 products which would be similar to '1130Tots Standard 24" ' I have made these as a list so we can choose from the list using data validation.
Now, out of the 130 products we have about 4 main different Catagories - Tots Direct, Tots RTS, Direct, RTS. - I could put what category they are in in a column next to the list on Sheet 2.
What i would like to happen is if e.g. a product is chosen from the drop down list, it could look in the cell in the column next to it and see what Catagory it is in and format the entire row on Sheet 1.
E.g. Direct changes colour to grey, Tots RTS to Pink, Tots Direct to Grey/Pink stripes, RTS stays standard no colour.
A bit of a development on a question i asked last week to cut out another stage. Currently people have to enter the product, then choose in the next column whether is is Direct, RTS, Tots Direct, Tots RTS then conditional formating will colour the rows. - Want to know if it is possible to do this all in 1 go by selecting the product from the list.

what i need to do is display a list of items, with a dropdown box next to each item. the dropdown boxes are identical. for each item in the list (e.g. each musician), the user should be able to select an item from the box ("percussion", "horn", "string").
my problem is that the number of items in the list is not set, so the list of name labels, dropdown boxes, etc needs to be generated dynamically. is it possible to generate a list of labels/dropdown boxes using a loop? (as i understand it, this would involve writing code to write code.)

I have a question regarding the data validation lists. What i have is 4 different lists
Department
Assays
Instrument
Manufacturer
What I want to do is...once a user chooses a department, he gets a list of assays done in the chosen dept. and also a list of instrument used by the dept and a list of manufacturers
I used the examples shown here
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal13.html
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal02.html
and was able to succeed in creating dependent lists to some extent...I am attaching whatever I have able to accomplish so far, which is able to pull up the assay list based on the dept. ...but am confused as to how to get the Instrument and Manufacturer list at the same time .....please choose 'Chem 2" from the dept list to see what I have managed to do so far

I am creating a spreadsheet i want it to be that i make a selection from a drop down and this will then narrow the options available in the next drop down. Say box one you select 'half day' and then the next drop down menu will automatically loose all the data for a 'full day' and only show half day information such as costs for food and room bookings ect. i have made the drop downs but im not sure what to do next.

I have on a sheet:
4 data validation lists that contain the exact same values.
would like to have:
One validation list box that is dependant on all 4 vd lists.
I posted a thread on dv and came to the conclusion that it is not possible to use INDIRECT() as it only allows for one cell reference and not four.
Is there another way to do this?
Glove Man, I tried your suggestion but couldn't get it work.

I have seen in the forums where lists are created by refering to column values in other worksheets.If you create a list by entering text values can you make other lists dependant to those values and can those lists also be made up of text lists?
All the examples I have seen here use lists that exist in some other worksheet
I use lists which use text values directly and not from a worksheet. I'm wondering how to make a secondary/sub list dependant on each value selected so say if text value "A" is selected in list 1 then this only allows the list for "A" to be available for list 2 in its corresponding cell (the next one along)

in a sheet I have two cells using data validation and dropdowns - the source for the first cell is a static named range - no problems. The source of the second cell is dependent on the value in the first cell and the sources are dynamic named ranges.
The dynamic ranges in cell#2 is named according to the value in cell#1 and I therefore have referenced the ranges using the INDIRECT function - but this only works with static ranges.
In the data validation source field for cell#2 I have the following formula:
=IF($A$1="",the_full_range,INDIRECT($A$1))

Just wondering if a drop down list can be specific to a selection made in a previous cell. For example in column A the user would select either:
Weekly
Monthly
Other
Then in column B, the drop down list would be conditional upon what was selected in A. So if the user selected 'Weekly' - the drop down list in B would be: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. Or if the user selected 'Monthly' in column A's list, the list in column B would be: 1, 2, 3, ......31.

In Excel, I want to do conditional formatting on a cell based on the value of another cell. For example: in cell A1, I have text. I want this cell to have a grey background if the value of cell B1 is less than or equal to 1/31/14 and to have no fill (default) if it is greater than that date.

I have a worksheet which has the years 2001 to 2013 on in row1. I am trying to find a way of highlighting the entire row in green if a specific year contains an "a" (Marlett, tick). The complex part is that I would like the specific year to be determined by an entry input into cell A2 on sheet 2. See Attachment for reference.

I want to create a conditional formatting based on a cell in a row. If the value of that cell is greater than or equal to $20 the entire row would be highlighted with a color.
the main thing is that the cells in the rows have if formulas that supple the data for the cells. The cells will be blank if nothing is to be displayed but they will still contain the formula.

I want to format a cell conditional on the value of another cell. I have read numerous threads on the topic and no matter what I do, it doesn't seem to work for me. I've made it a simple as possible by creating a new workbook and entering:
A1: 5
B1: 2
C1: Some random text - this cell has the conditional formula: ="A1>B1"
However, the cell doesn't get formatted. Here is a screenshot and here is the simple workbook.

I want to color format a cell based on a percentage value in another cell but I just can't get my head around how to solve it. I've attached a file that explains it better.
E.g.
The formatting for A1 should be something like:
If A2 is
> +/- 10% RED
+/- 6-10% YELLOW
+/- 5% GREEN

I am trying to do some conditional formatting to highlight rows based on several conditions, I don't know if this is possible, but these are the criteria:
AAPL
tt
10/1/2013 11:14:15
GOOG
ll
10/1/2013 11:14:20
[code].....
I want to highlight a row if:
- the difference in time value is < 20 seconds
- the first symbol column is the same
- at least one, but not all of the rows meeting the above criteria contains a value in the second column from a given list (in this example, say tt is on this list)
So if done properly the logic would highlight the first and third rows, but would highlight none if none of the values in column two match my list.
I think the test criteria would go something like this, however I know that there are problems with my row references.
=and(abs($C2-$C3:$C65536)<0.0003,$A2=$A3,match($A2,Sheet1!A:A,0)>0)

I am attempting to apply conditional formatting such that cell B3 is green if it is greater than or equal to cell B2, and red if less than cell B2. Then to apply this conditioning across the row of data (i.e. C3 >= C2 green, C3 < C2 red; D3 >= D2 green, D3 < D2 red; E3 >= E2 green, E3 < E2 red ... etc.). Needs to be formatted such that if I change the value in cell B2, the colour of B3 is automatically updated.

I have a value in column H7 as 2000.
I have columns M to X labeled Jan to Dec. I want to highlight in yellow values in the row M7 to X7 if they are greater than 2000!
Then, I need to copy this conditional formatting down the columns under M to X, but under column H the values will be different, but I still want the same results, values greater than the value under column H then highlight in yellow.
I thought I had the answer but when I tried to copy down, it was making cells yellow that were clearly less than the column H value.

how to create VBA code for conditionally formatting a column of dates that have expired. My unique challenge is that I first need to associate the item attached to the date with the expiration date of a particular group. Therefore, I have to first match the Item label with the appropriate group, and then I need to evaluate the expiration dates of both the Group and the Item. If the Item expires before the Group expires, then I need the Item date to be formatted in bold and with a red font.
Attached is a sample spreadsheet.
Thoughts about how to accomplish this with VBA? By the way, VBA is the necessary approach due to the fact that the data is updated several times per day, and all existing data is erased prior to uploading new data.

I have a spreadsheet I'm trying to make which will have various cells change color based upon the date entered compared to today's date. Here are the details of it, and what I've tried to do so far:
Various safety tickets that employees acquire have a 3 year expiry date on them. What I want to do is be able to enter in the issue date, and then have the conditional formatting color the cell that contains the date based on the following criteria:
Green = More than 6 months remaining
Yellow = Between 6 months and 30 days remaining
Red = 30 days until expiry
Black = Expired (I wanted to eventually add this one, but Excel 2003 was only allowing me to add 3 conditional formatting conditions, so I just went with the 3 colors. I'm getting Excel 2007 later today, so I might be able to add more with that)
Now here is what I have so far:
3 years = 1095 days, 2.5 years = 913 days, 2 years and 11 months = 1065 days
N3 = 913
N4 = 1065
Conditional Formatting on cell C21
Condition 1 - color Green
=$C21+$N$3>=TODAY()
Condition 2 - color Red
=$C21+$N$4<TODAY()
Condition 3 - color Yellow
=AND($C21+$N$3<TODAY(),$C21+$N$4>TODAY())

My attached spreadsheet is for tracking when certain tasks were completed on each case and figuring the number of days that it takes to complete these tasks.
The task I am needing help in formatting is the Corrections Received field (column E). We need to track the cases that do not have corrections received within 7 days of the changes being requested (Out for Corrections, column D). The issue is that there would not usually be a date entered in the Corrections Received column when we need to look at those cases...because they would not be received yet. In order to not get an extreme default value (like the -40181 or 40922), I entered the =Now() function in column E (except for first case as an example of what this would look like otherwise).
What I was hoping to be able to do is use conditional formatting to look for that Now() formula. If the formula is present, the cell would be highlighted. If a date were entered, even if it was today's date, the fill on that cell would be removed. That way we could tell when the displayed date is a true date and when it is a placeholder until we receive the information.
Currently, it either highlights no matter what the cell includes or it doesn't highlight anything...

Any way write a conditional format formula to shade a cell based on two ranges.
Here is what I need:
cell b4 should be colored in if n4:xfd4 = today's date AND n3:xfd3 = "Time Off". The part I am having trouble with is that it should only shade if today and time off are in the same column.
Here is an example:
This one should shade B4(note: Today is 08/13/2013):
time off
late
08/13/2013
08/10/2013
This one should not:
late
time off
08/13/2013
08/10/2013
This is what I came up with so far, but it shades the cell if either show up in the entire range:
=AND(MATCH($G$1,$n$4:$XFD$4),MATCH($H$1,$n$3:$XFD$3),1)
Note: g1 contains =today() and h1 = "Time off"
So formula is wrong.

I am manually formatting column J depending on what data is entered into column K. If the number entered into the cells in column K are equal to or less than what is in column J, I format the data in the cells in column J with the green you see above. If the data entered in the column K cells are greater than column J, I format it in the red shown above.
So, how can I have Excel do this for me, format column J cells depending upon what is entered into column K cells? The caveat here is that I also don't want any formatting to occur until data is entered into column K.
