Custom Formatting On Multiple Cells
Dec 24, 2012
I am creating a spreadsheet for a stockroom, each product that my business sells, is on an individual row, and the details for each product can be seen in the columns (e.g. Product ID, Product Name, Cost Price, Number Sold, Number Brought, Units in Stock).
What I want to happen, is for rows to be blacked out (through formatting) if the remaining stock levels fall below around 3, then the row that the product is on, is 'un-blacked out' and so can be seen. However if the number of remaining stock is above 3, the row is blacked out.
So the sheet will work that only products with the number of remaining units in stock are below 3, are visible, and the others are blacked out.

I have a range of cells with numeric values or blanks. I set up a Conditional Formatting rule with this range selected: New Rule > Format only cells that contain > Format only cells with: Blanks; then I set the formatting to a light green fill and on the Number tab > Category = Custom > Type: "blank"
The blank fields get the light green fill, but no text; that is, the value displayed is still blank.
I go back to edit the CF rule and change Blanks to No Blanks. The results are what I expect: the cells with numbers display the text blank and have a green fill; the blank cells have no fill (white).
This is my testing criteria. I eventually want the empty cells to display 0 (zero). I tried setting Custom > Type: 0 (the number placeholder zero) and Type: "0" (literally the number zero), and neither works.
I have tried this with Format only cells with Cell Value equal to [the address of a blank cell].
I tried to set the value as "" but kept getting =""""; and ="" became ="=""" ???
I have tried this with Use a Formula... using the len()=0, isblank(), and other approaches, all with the same results.
I also made sure the option [x] Show a zero in cells that have a zero value is checked.
With all approaches to identifying the blank cells, they ARE obviously being recognized as blank values: the fill color is being applied to the right cells; and when Not Blank is the criterion (or a negation of a formula), the blank ones are not formatted. But blank cells will not display the text as defined in the Custom Formatting.
And this isn't an issue of "If the cell displays 'blank' it's no longer blank, so the rule doesn't apply" - HERE'S WHY: I set up a second CF rule that sets the Font to red when the value is greater than zero and had this CF rule follow the CF rule for No Blanks (the test above that works). Cells with positive numbers displayed blank in red, cells with zeros or negative numbers displayed blank in black. This clarified that the actual value of the cell is being evaluated, not the displayed value after Custom formatting is applied.

I have four different cell.
Cell a1 contains 6 digits
Cell a2 contains 1 digit
Cell a3 contains 6 digits
Cell a4 contains 4 digits.
Cells a3 and a4 may contain a number less than number of digits specified above but are custom formatted 000000 and 0000 respectively to ensure they have the correct number of digits. My problem is when I try to combine the four cells they lose their formatting. I have tried =A1&A2&A3&A4 and = concatenate(A1,A2,A3,A4). But both formulas loose the formatting from the individual cells.

I need to take data from multiple cells in a row from one sheet and paste it into another sheet (linking them) but in a column. I could do this simply linking cells one by one but it's a hard work since the cells are hundreds.

I need to conditional format a cell based on it's current value and a value in another cell.
For example:
Each person would have a different target. So if Steve has a figure of over 20 his highlights green, Paul 12 etc.
However each person would not appear in the same row each day.
The Conditional Forumla of =(A1="Steve.Smith")+(C1>="20") works, but then applying to all cells messes it up a bit.
25
Paul.Smith
14
Ian.Smith
15
Jim.Smith
20
John.Smith
18

I am having a problem setting conditional formatting for multiple cells.
The first condition of the conditional formatting works for the cells but the second condition does not. There is probably an easy fix for this but I can't seem to find it.

I need a custom number format to do the following: When a whole number, shows only whole number (no decimal place) When decimal, show decimal. For example, have this data show as typed:
45 (not 45.0)
32
6.7
43.5
87
I can't figure out a format to allow this. The closest I get is:
??.?
but that gives me:
45.
32.
6.7
43.5
87.

I use the conditional formatting of duplicates within a column quite often. Now I am trying to highlight duplicates based on multiple cells in the same row. I can't seem to get a formula to make that work. I have four cells in separate columns but the same row, for example H2:K2, H3:K3, H4:K4, etc. I would like to highlight the four cells in that row if there is a duplicate of all four cells in another row. So if one, two or three cells are duplicates in the same column I do not want to highlight any of the cells, it should only highlight the group of four cells if all four cells are identical in another row. Pretty much the same way the default highlight duplicates works, just the value is spread across four cells.

If you have a range of cells with values in them (Q2:AZ2), you can use conditional formatting to identify the top x% of the group and it would essentially treat each cell in comparison to the group. I need to identify if a cell in the group is greater than 3*Stdev(Q2:AZ2). Do I have to create conditional formatting for each individual cell or is there a way to apply a function to the group that would recognize each cell the same way that the canned conditional formatting rules work?

I have twelve sheets that each have a total score on cell G10 that I want to have copied to a thirteenth sheet in a specific column (F5-16). What would I have to do to make that happen? The G10 cell is an auto-summed cell, if that makes a difference.
Also, is there a specific way to create formulas?

I need to take a column of numbers and round them to the nearest 10. This is for a worksheet that will go out to clients, and we aren't allowed to leave functions (such as =mround(5556.54645645656, 10)) in place. However, the only alternative is to just type over that long number with "5560", which eats the original number and isn't desirable either.
Therefore, I have come to look at custom formatting. The closest thing I have found is this thread: [URL] ......

I need for coloring "Expected Delivery Date" column corresponding with "Control Date" and "Control Result. But I want to correspond with the cells' last content of "Control Date" and "Control Result" But first of all I want "Control Date" should be flashed 10 days ago of it's date... (it's already done on my excel file)
Then
I want "Expected Delivery Date" as green when
- "Expected Delivery Date" =< "Control Date" and "Control Result" =Y (Means Control is Ok on due time)
I want "Expected Delivery Date" as red when
- "Expected Delivery Date" > "Control Date" and "Control Result" =Y (Means control is ok not on due time)
- "Expected Delivery Date" > "Control Date" and "Control Result" =N (Means control ok is not given, delayed...)

I'm using 2007 and want to add conditional formatting to multiple cells.
Say I have 3 columns and 10 rows of data (A1:10 ; B1:10 ; C1:10). I want to add an icon set to everything in columns B and C based on a comparison with the figure on their immeidate left. So B1 is compared to A1, C1 to B1 etc.
When I do it though it compares everything to A1 (formula in the Conditional Formating is =$A$1 and it won't let me remove the $'s). It looks to me like I can't do it and have to add the formatting to every cell indiviually (which is quite a lot).

I have applied conditional formatting to a cell using formulas and i want to copy that formatting to a new cell using similar formula but pointing to different cells. Is it possible to do so? I have tried to copy and paste special>formats, but that just copies the conditional formatting with the same formulas.
Sample: =IF($C$5/$C$295>$R$5,TRUE,FALSE)
I want to copy to $D$5/$D$295>$R$5,TRUE,FALSE) without having to paste the new formula in each time.

I have a cell that contains numbers and text.
example: 1-2-3-4-5-6 or 1-22-3-44-5-6.
If the the number between the dash '-' is a single digit (less than 9), I want to insert a leading zero so all 6 numbers are 2 digits.
Is this possible with custom formatting? I tried a custom for of:
00"-"00"-"00"-"00"-"00"-"00
and it is not working.
I also tried using a MID formula but it gets quite complex identifying the location of the dash - is there an easier way than the MID or LEN?

I have a date in H34, 21/03/2009.
In I34 I have the same date again, except formatted as MMMM YYYY so its showing "March 2009".
In G10, I want the cell to read: Number at end of March 2009, with the month and year being taken from the date range. To be honest, I can get the year okay using the Year() function but cant get the month as cant convert it back from a numeric.

I am trying to insert custom formatting into a cell so when I enter a set of 9 numbers for phone numbers in the U.S. and 14 numbers for international phone numbers, it will automatically display it in the correct format. Reason for the 0's on the international is because country codes often start with a 0, so I need to ensure it isn't removed from the number.

I can't figure out how to use the custom number formatting to get 20130522A to display as 2013 05 22A. I don't care if it has to be 2013 05 22 A, the extra space is fine.
I have been googling and trying different things and I cant get anything to work. All of the characters can be text, there will always be 4 characters, a space, 2 characters, a space, and the remaining 3 characters. It seems as though it should be so simple to add two spaces into a fixed length string, but I guess not.

I am trying to get a row of cells to highlight a percentage based on a date range
Below is an example of what my spreadsheet will look like, very simple for managers to read and understand but I am stuck on how i can get this to display the right way.
In the example i would need the Jan column to colour for a certain percent for 21 days and continue to feb for 26 days. Im not sure if this makes sense but this is what they are asking for. Colour bars to simple show the percent of days off each month.
Name Start Date End Date Jan Feb Mar
Dale 11/01/14 26/02/14 21 days 26 days
I have attached the spreadsheet for an example : Book1.xlsx
