I have a worksheet with a list of four digit codes that are colored. On a separate worksheet (in the same workbook,) I would like to be able to type the four digit code in, and have it return the color I have the cell turned. E.g., I have a cell with 8810 colored green on one sheet, and I need to be able to type that code on another sheet and have the cell turn green. Is this possible? The codes are all random, with three different colors to choose from, so conditional formatting is probably not the best solution.
I was wondering if there was any way to do a cell format so that if I type in a word in sheet1 say "mike" on sheet2 the word "mike" cell would be highlighted? or if there is a formula you could use to do that.
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 am trying to alert our purchasing mgr when order dates are approaching or not meeting our project deadline.
As of now i have the following rulesif order date is due today or past due - redif order date it greater than project date - redif order date is due within 2wks - yellow
Now all I need is a rule where there is an order without a due date but the project deadline is within 2wks (yellow) and past due or due today (red)
I would like to format cells with a currency based on a value selected at the top of my worksheet. Cell C3 is a drop down of currencies. And I would like cells range E11:E200 to format in whatever currency selected in cell C3.
I basically have a spreadsheet with several columns A-E. Column A contains a number from 1-6. I want to format the contents of the cells in column B based upon the number in column A.
An example:
If A3 = 1
Then I want B3 to be - Font size 10, bold, underlined, indented twice.
I am trying to reference a cell in sheet All Employees in sheet Brock. This is an employee training database.
Currently there is no data in the cell I want to reference (B9). When I use the formula ='all employees'!b9 the cell in the brock sheet shows "january 00 00" even when the referenced cell is empty. This problem is eliminated if I formate the Brock cell to General. It then displays a zero.
However, the cell in the All Employees Sheet is going to be a date. If I format the Brock cell to general, when I enter a date in All Employees, it gives a large number, not a date. This problem is eliminated by changing the formating of the Brock cell to Date.
What I would like to do is be able to type the date in the All Employees sheet and have it magically transfer to the Brock sheet without any additional work. I would like the brock sheet to be printable, and with January 00 00 written all over it, not only is it messy but its incorrect.
I have locked some cells on my Spreadsheet so other people can not change them. What I would like to know is how do I change the colour of the font? I also would like to Bold/unbold the font.
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 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.
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 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 work as a full-time lifeguard and I have been asked to modify an existing spreadsheet that we use to keep track of everyone's certifications. The criteria is to adjust the cell color based on whether the certification is current, 45 days from expiration, or expired. I am unsure how to set up the rules in the conditional formatting to differentiate between the three categories. I have the certification dates as well as the duration of the certification so I need to be able to have the cell color change accordingly based on the previously mentioned criteria. This is the formula I am currently using just to tell if the certification has expired:
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.
I have inherited a monstrous speadsheet on which all data appears on a single sheet rather than being broken up across several sheets in some logical fashion.
One portion of this monster is a set of quite a few form letters, each of which reference various cells elsewhere in the spreadsheet.
I want to move all of these letters, together, to another tabbed sheet as a first step in reorganizing the monster.
Simply copying and pasting the cells or columns doesn't work. It fails in different ways depending on which pasting options I employ.
A very simplified version of my problem appears on the 5 sheets of the attached file, with what I hope is just enough further detail about the difficulty.
By the way, I also tried using the "Insert Copied Cells" option when pasting but since this failed with the exact same results as one of the other options I didn't include the results in the example shreadsheet.
In Sheet2 I have a list of cell addresses showing values such as D5, D32, D59, D221, D869 stored in cells AB7:AB16. In Sheet1 the "D" column holds dates. I want to return the corresponding date for each D# cell into Sheet2 in column AC7:AC16. I'm unaware of the proper syntax for this. I though it would look something like:
I have some problem with conditional formatting, basically what I'd like to do is color the cells, based on the value contained in one specific cell. I'm not able to make a formula that suits my job.
Basically I want to color code a cell if the value in a specified cell is between x and y.
I've attached a sample spreasheet: MrExcel.xlsx‎
I would like to be able to change the color of fill in a cell if there are 3 occurrences in cells. Attached is a sample.
In the attachment, if the cells A2, D2, G2 all have a number "1" in them I would like cell K2 to have a color fill for the cell.
The same would be for the other cells, if B2, E2, H2 all have the number "1", K2 should have a fill in the cell as well, same as if C2, F2, I2 have a number "1", fill K2.
I only want the fill color to be in cell K2 if all 3 of the cells, ex: A2, D2, G2 have a "1" in them. Also, some of the other cells may have a number "1" in them but I would not want them counted unless it is 3 of the consecutive cells.
I have a cell which I want to colour green if C6>9, yellow if O6>60 and red if BOTH C6 and O6 are above their respective numbers. The first two parts of this are obviously straight forward, but I cant work out how to get the third part of it to work.
I have a conditional formatting issue in Excel 2007.
I have a drop down list which shows 4 countries; UK, DE, FR and NL
I would like to change the format of a number of cells to £ or € dependent on what the dropdown box has chosen.
I have a number of vlookups, so it pulls the right amount, and the right SKU, but I cannot get it to change the formatting correctly. I have even tried to simplify it to say, if UK use £ and if <> UK then use €, but that doesn't change either. If I change it, so it colours red for UK, and clear for not UK, that works.
I want to format a range of cells based on the name listed in a cell in column A (starting @A6). I currently do this manually. It is to help me visually see the line I am working with and for what person.
I am almost certain that is going to take a VBA, but I know little to nothing about setting one up.
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.
I want to do conditional formatting based on two cell values.
i want to do conditional format the column 'R' based on clolumns 'J' and 'R'. column 'J' is a text column named PRIORITY which can hold the values P1,P2,P3 an P4. Column 'R' is nothing but difference of two columns 'M' and 'H'(both are time stamps).Column'R' is in below format. =TEXT(M4-H4,"h:mm:ss").
column M and H are in below format:
eg: 9/11/13 9:41 AM
Now i want to format the column'R' like if column J ="P2" and column 'R' > "00:10:00"(10 mins) =it should become red. if column J="P3" and column 'R'>"00:30:00"(30 mins) = it should become red.
How multiple cells can be formatted based on one cell value. See the screenshot attached to understand what I am trying to achieve. I am very new to excel formatting, vba etc.
