Conditional Formatting Where Cell Value Does Not Contain Specific Value
Nov 4, 2013
I have a column which lists emails and I want to highlight any email that does not contain a specific domain.
I started to make rules to highlight those addresses that were specifically @msn.com and @gmail.com, when I thought that it would be easier to just say highlight everything that is not @testers.com
I know how to set a conditional for a cell to change a color when i apply a specific value, but how about if i want to set E2 cell to change to green when i place a 'X' on F2?
Pretty much I want 2 columns that say Yes and the Other No. When i place a X on Yes that other cell turns green, if i place a X on No that other cell turns red.
Is 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.
Can Conditional Formatting be set on multiple values? I cannot get this to work with any formula, the cell values are not between two values. For example: for value = D or R, or X change color to green. (I would have another condition within a range F to Q)
I have a conditional formatting rule that checks for misspellings of client names.
My employees input client names into a spreadsheet, and I need for the spreadsheet to notify them via a fill color if they have misspelled the name.
So, I set up a rule for each client name using the specific text criteria.
The rule simply checks for the client's name, and fills the cell green if the client's name is correct. If the client's name is misspelled, then the cell remains unfilled.
This works great if the client's name is spelled correctly, or spelled incorrectly.
But there's one hitch:
If the client's name is spelled correctly, but there is some extra character(s) inputted after the client's name, the cell is still filled green even though the data in the cell is useless because the extra character will cause it to be rejected by the next party down the line in the value chain.
So I'm hoping to find a way to make the specific text containing criteria operate with only the specific text I specify and no extra characters or anything after the specific text.
I'm having issues with conditional formatting. I used the INDIRECT formula to highlight specific rows.
For example, column A has the days of the week. I wanted the whole row highlighted if it was a Saturday. I used:
=INDIRECT("a"&Row())="Sat"
What I want to do now is to highlight specific cells (Columns F and G) if column A has Friday in it. I do not want the whole row highlighted if it contains Friday.
I am trying to get conditional formatting to work on this problem but I am getting nowhere fast,
In A1 I have a start date, I want B1 to turn Green if A1 is less that 1 year old, C1 to turn Yellow if A1 is between 1 - 3 years old and D1 to turn red if A1 is more then 3 years old.
I have been trying to find a way of formatting an entire row based on the contents of cells in each column. However i come unstuck when trying to make the column dynamic. Below is an example:
Month 2010 2011 2012
[Code]....
The idea is that i say current year is 2011 and all rows where C contains an a will turn green. What i would like to achieve is that when i change current year to say 2012 the conditional formatting adjusts so that it looks at D instead of C.
How to get "some specific holidays" highlighted by doing conditional formatting in series of "date columns"?? I got to know how to get "sunday" highlighted...but again problem with specific holidays...
I am trying to work with conditional formatting to turn a field a specific color based on two conditions, one of which is variable. The first condition is a list of ongoing events (which can change) and the second condition is a set of known milestones. I want to create a control (check boxes?) that will turn a given field (which has dates in it from another calculation) to either Red, Yellow, or Green.
I was thinking two Dropdown boxes - one for the events and one for the milestones. The user would choose an event, choose the milestone, then choose a checkbox or something to change the color of a field elsewhere in the spreadsheet. Right now, I'm doing this in a very clumsy way by having three checkboxes for each milestone for each event. There are five milestones per event (so 15 checkboxes per event on Sheet2). I will likely have 70+ events so I was hoping for a better way to do this. I've done this for the first three events and need a more efficient way of doing this.
See the attachment : Event Milestones based on Go Date Uploadable.xlsx
Is it possible to change the format of cell AI3 based on the format of cell C3 and D3? I have C3 and D3 set to turn red based on what is in cell C2 and D2. I would like the following done:
If AI3=C3 & C3 is red, format AI3 blue If AI3=D3 & D3 is red, format AI3 blue Otherwise, leave AI3 unformatted.
A1 is not in any pattern colour. But if A1 is changed into, say, Red, B1 will be equils to D5+F5. Otherwise if A1 is changed into Blue, B1 will be equils to D6+F6. Can it been done by Excel 2003?
I have a conditional format in Cell J3 that has 2 conditions as follows: Condition 1: Cell Value, Equal to, ="NO", and then the format will color the cell RED. Condition 2: Cell Value, Equal to, ="YES", and then the format will color the cell GREEN.
I want Condition 3 to turn the cell J3 YELLOW if there is ANYTHING at all or anything above "0" typed into Cell D3.
I have two columns. In column B is the date of "last check". I column A is the date of "next check". I would like to have cell A2 in yellow color 334 days after the date entered in cell A3 and than in red color 365 days after the date entered in cell A3. Same thing for cell B2 related to date entered in cell B3. Yellow color in cells announces that check will expire within 30 days and red color that check has been expired.
I have a formula as follows:- B20 is the cell I wish to format. The formular is =B18-400. My problem is I wish to hide the -400 from the cell until it changes.
how to highlight a particular cell red if the value in one cell is less than or equal to the value in another cell. For instance, How do I make it so that the "Hours to go" cell turns red if the value in the "Actual Last Completion" value is less than or equal to the value of "Last Completed" cell?
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.
In the attached, I want cells to be highlighted red if they're NOT EQUAL to 0. Why is this conditional formatting not working (i.e. the cell is being highlighted)?
I am working in a table where I would like the whole row to highlight based on the value in one of the cells. These rows of data will be updated regularly, so the formatting has to change with the data.
This seems way too simple to do yet I can't get it right. It will highlight some that are different and not highlight others that are different. I need to compare column A to O and highlight differences, B to P and highlight difference, and so on.
I want to use conditional formatting on a column ('A') to highlight cells that do not have a match with any cells in a specific range.
So I've made a range called 'AcceptedData', which contains a couple of cells with text. Also included a blank cell in the range, since I do not want blank cells to be highlighted.
Then I used this conditional format forumla on column A.
=COUNTIF(AcceptedData;A1)=0
But it doesn't seem to work. The blank cells get highlighted.
I have a worksheet with conditional formatting applied. My formula works to change the cell color, font color, and strike-through the font if a "yes" answer is indicated. It all works well EXCEPT that the font color and strike-through ONLY apply to the top line on my cell.
Each cell has a title line, and a few paragraphs in it, with separations between the title line and the paragraphs. I kind of like having the title line a different font, but when it's time to strikethrough I want ALL of the text struck through.
