Conditional Formula Syntax Shows Hash Signs
Jul 1, 2007I trying to write a conditional formula to test data in a cell to see where it falls between certain values, and depending on the data in the cell, will display a message in another cell showing what level has been attained. It's a long formula and I may not have the syntax correct. Can someone look at this and tell me where I have went wrong? All I get in the target cell is "################".
Here is the formula:
Try this formula. Array formulas will have curly brackets {} emcompassing the ENTIRE formula. You do not add these, you Enter the formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter and Excel will add them (details: Array formulas). Many more Excel Formulas
=IF(c13<1600,"Not at prize level yet",IF(AND(c13>=1600,c13<=1999.99),"You have reached level 1",IF(AND(c13>1999.99,c13<=2499.99),"You have reached level 2",IF(AND(c13>2499.99,c13<=2999.99),You have reached level 3,IF(AND(c13>3000,c13<=3499.99),"You have reached level level 4",IF(c13>3500,"You have reached the top level!!"))))))
Conditional Formatting Date Cells Based On Entry In Adjacent Cell
Jul 22, 2008I have a spreadsheet with 'due date' for returns in column L and 'received date' for returns, in the adjacent column M.
I would like to get the due date to turn red when it is overdue, ie. the date in the cell has arrived and no return was submitted. By trawlling the forum, I managed to accomplish this with the following in conditional formatting:
Cell value is less than or equal to =TODAY()
All's great.....but - I would like the date to turn back to black if I enter a date in the adjacent received column, column M.
In other words, I want to flag a problem if the due date has passed, but once I receive the return and enter the date I receive it, i would like the due date entry to revert back to the original formatting ie. black. So only the outstanding returns are highlighted.
OR Formula In Conditional Formatting
Mar 9, 2009Have 2 conditional formattings going on in a database query and need to apply two more conditions but only have 1 conditional formatting left. I am trying to highlight everything in a row that contains either "HCAT" or "HCAL" in column D. So far I have this,
=$D2=OR(HCAT,HCAL)
but its not highlighting anything, any clues?
Conditional Formatting With Formula?
Jul 18, 2012I simply need to have column A be red if value is < Column B value and green if it is >. The problem is that if the value in column A is .00000004 and column B is .00000005, it turns red. Example is the first three numbers below the headers....they each are 0%, yet the value on the left turns red because it is .0000005 more than the value on the right. I just want the colors to reflect the numbers which show up as below. Is there a way to do this?

2011 % of Total $

Formula Using Conditional Formatting
Feb 1, 20081. I have a range of random numbers within a column, i.e. A1:A9
2. A specific number will appear in a cell at the end of that column, i.e. A11
3. I need to see via conditional formatting which of the above cells add up to that number.
I am aware that given the numbers in A1:A9, it is possible to have more than one combination of numbers that add up to A11. I would need to see those combinations as well identified using Conditional formatting.
Conditional Formatting Formula
Mar 20, 2007I am referencing a cell in order to change the background color of a row of cells if the number in column B is = to the number in a specific cell. The formula used in the conditional formatting is =$B73=$B$10. The reference cell $B$10 contains the following formula =INT(MAX('Assumptions & Inputs'! F8:F9))
The conditional formatting worked fine when I used that formula. I had to change the formula in cell $B$10 so that it would meet a new criteria. When I did that the conditional formatting would not change the color of the row. The new formula that I put in the reference cell $B$10 is
='Assumptions & Inputs'!$D$8+MAX('Assumptions & Inputs'!$F$8-'Assumptions & Inputs'!$D$8,'Assumptions & Inputs'!$F$9-'Assumptions & Inputs'!$D$9)
Conditional Formatting Inside A Formula?
Jun 21, 2014I have a challenge with conditional formatting. I have products A-K with sales current year and last year and want to have year on year growth. I want to have one column where the cell formatting changes based on data validation.
Let's say product A sold 60 items CY and 50 LY meaning YoY variance is +10 items or +20%. Hence, if the relevant cell says "%" then the YoY figure should say "+20%" (formatted as a percentage) and if "VALUES" then YoY should be 10 (formatted as numbers/absolute values).
Remember also that YoY growth can be +100% (or more), 0% and -100%.

Conditional Formatting - With Two Conditions Within One Formula
Nov 6, 2008I am trying to use conditional formatting for a cell; It is a cell using Validation; you can choose "Yes" or "No" from a list If the value is "Yes" the cell should be green, regardless of everything else But if the value is "No" it should turn red, but only if a choice in another cell is equal to "X". Otherwise it should be left without special formatting.

Jan 10, 2009I am having a very difficult time trying to figure out a conditional formatting formula for something that seems very simple. There are 3 conditions I would like to apply to cell B2: If the value of I2 is less than or equal to 24, but greater than or equal to 21, shade B2 red. If the value of I2 is less than or equal to 20, but greater than or equal to 12, shade B2 orange. If the value of I2 is less than or equal to 11, but greater than or equal to 8, shade B2 yellow. I am sure I am missing something quite simple here.

Conditional Formatting With One Cell Having A Formula?
Aug 27, 2013This is the most simplest conditional formatting which is working except on some cells. I want to compare two columns cells ex : if A=B , then format A as green.
Its working, the "formula" and "cell value contains" everything except for few cells. Cell B has formula's in it related to other cells. When i enter values in other cells, Cell B computes but A refuses to format "green".
If I just enter same value[ex 1, 1]in both the cells sans formula ,it highlights A green . I want to know , if the formula in cell B is causing the errors in formatting and if it is
Conditional Formatting Formula - Student GPA
Oct 22, 2013I have a grading system for university students, my spreadsheet looks like this:
Student Name Academic Calendar GPA Fall GPA Winter GPA Spring GPA Summer

View 2 Replies View RelatedConditional Formatting Based On Now Formula
Feb 19, 2010My 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...

Conditional Formatting For External Formula?
Dec 8, 2012(1) I have conditional formatting working to format cells that contain a formula.
(2) I need to also separately conditional format cells which link to a formula in an external worksheet.
I don't wish to use VBA and would like to use defined name range method outlined below.
To do (1) above:
Under define name range, created "cellhasformula", the formula used in the field refers to was: =get.cell(48,indirect("rc",false))
In conditional formatting using: format values where this formula is true. =cellhasformula (works great).
These formulas in their current form, do not work in defining name range:
=InStr(1, c.Formula, ".xls") > 0
or eg =InStr(1,rCell.Formula,"[")>0
exact formula to use in define name range to return a true value if a formula is linked to an external worksheet?

Dec 18, 2007Is it possible to have the conditional format auto adjust the cell value range (similar to how the drop and drag with the autocomplete cell values turned on works)?
For example:
If I conditional format: A1 - does not equal A2 then change colour to blue. Then use the Format Paint to copy the A1 conditional format to B1. Is there any way that it can auto adjust the cell reference to change to - does not equal B2 (the next cell down and so on) rather than having to manually go to each cell and adjust the cell reference?
Ultimately I want the following to happen:
A1 - does not equal A2 (colour blue)
B1 - does not equal B2 (colour blue)
C1 - does not equal C2 (colour blue) etc
Simple Formula Construction And Conditional Formatting?
Jul 26, 2008I have used Excel for a number of years and have gotten on ok on my own working out simple formulas myself but I have been stuck on this one for a while. Is it possible to enter a value into a cell and have a predefined formula that works with the data that I enter?? I would like to enter a value between 1-10 and the cell then takes this number and multiplies it by a value in another cell. Eg.
I have a cell that displays £10 (let's say D6)
In another cell I enter 8
I would then like the cell to do the formula =8*D6 automatically, as this value can be different each time (1-10)
Conditional Formatting: Show If A Formula Has Been Overwritten
Apr 1, 2009There is a clever piece of conditional formatting designed to show if a formula has been overwritten. It works by creating a range called (say) CellHasFormula and then entering =GET.CELLl(48,Indirect("rc",false)) in the reference box. In the cell you wish to conditionally format you enter =CellHasFormula. If the formula in that cell is overwritten, then the conditional formatting is displayed.

Jan 25, 2012I have a large spreadsheet with a number of columns that are set up for conditional formatting. For example a column of "BUY"'s and "SELL"'s where the "BUY"s are formatted with the default "light green fill, dark green text". I have other columns that are conditionally formatted using a formula. When I base the result on a formula I don't seem to have the option to use the default formats. Is it possible to use the defaults or maybe even how to customize my format to look like the default? It would look a lot better if I had a uniform red/green style throughout the sheet.
