I am new to excel and have to create a comparison chart that shows the lowest cell result in each row ie
23 25 28 13 42 16 13
21 34 25 17 21 23 17
I will have 36 rows by 20 columns I also need the lowest in each row to appear at the end of the row in the total column. I would like to highlight the cell by a cell colour rather than text colour.
Is it possible to highlight the three lowest cells with different colors within a given range. Example: I have a range of value( times from a 100 meter dash race)from cell B4 to cell B14, how can I highlight the fastest time in red, the second fastest in blue and third in yellow.
question 1 : In the below sheet, is there a way to use the condition highlighting the quantity for each item which has the lowest (prices/pcs) value?
for example : comparing the ITEM 1 -> $8/10 , $6/8, $9/20, $11/20 and highlight the 8pcs for item 1, indicates item 1, seller bill has the best offer.
Question 2 : Since I will have at least 50 items, is there a way to just copy the formula and apple to each row ?
question 3 : I would also like to apply a formula that can calculate the price and quantity of each item. for example : on the I column, for Item 1, i would love to order 3 orders, since bill has the best offer, so I will have 24pcs on column I3. And i would love to apply such formula to each item for each row.
Question 4 : For the cell J3, I would like to know if bill has the best offer for the item 1, order 3 orders, the price for item 1 will be $18. And I would like to apply such formula to each row for each item.
I do not want to create another column for each seller: such as ($/pcs) to find out the best offer, since i will have at least 35suppliers , and try to make the sheet look as nest as possible.
I'm using the code described down below to highlight 5 of the lowest values in a column. The problem; If at a certain moment the column contains less then 5 values the code errors, so I've to put in a lot of error handlers to fix the problem.
I have 18 columns of numbers, I need to figure out how to highlight the lowest number in each column, only if it is a unique value... in other words, only if it doesn't match any other number in that column. I'd also like that number somehow paired up with it's row's indentifier and put somewhere in a report.
I have in a range B10:B110 formulae that returns a number. When I try and use CF to highlight the lowest number, it does not trigger. Is it not possible to have both a formula and CF in the same cell, that triggers the CF.
need to understand the easiest way of highlighting the highest and lowest number in a range of cells several times in the same column.
As I said the cell range will be in the same column. So highlight the highest number green and lowest number red in cells a3 to a9 and then repeat the same process again in cells a11 to a17 and so on.the cell references are an example.
So I have several separate sets of numbers in the same column.
I have a range of cells and columns with diferent numbers in the range. I would like to know what VBA code I need to write in order to select the cell with the lowest valued number in the range. Cells do not have unique values (if the MIN value is 4, there maybe 5 or 6 cells with this value) I only need to select one of them, and it doesnt matter which. If anyone could suggest how to then select the next smallest number that would also be great (if MIN is 4, to select the next smallest cell, say cell value 6).
I need to get a formula to calculate the average of the best 3 scores out of 4, but there is some that do not have a value in a cell (so some are only out of 3 scores not 4) and if i simply drop the lowest value and sum the rest, it will incorrectly calculate the average.
Assume I filled some cells of a worksheet (in Excel 2007).
Now I place the cursor in one of the cells and dragged the cursor to the right side. As a result more and more empty columns are automatically added at the right side even I do not enter something. Similarly rows are added at the bottom when cursor is dragged downwards.
Correspondingly the horizontal (and vertical) slider shrinks because the dimensions of the matrix grows.
Is there a menu/function which let me do the opposite?
Something like a trim/shrink function which cuts/deletes all empty columns beginning from the right side resp. rows from the bottom?
This is a conditional formatting problem I have not been able to resolve:
I have a range, say A1:N30
Each cell contains a text/number combination.
I would like to highlight each cell on a specific row if the vale exists within the row above - the issue is that the cell values are not in the same columns.
I have attached a sample workbook with the desired output.
I have a spreadsheet where if Cell A2 says "Deposit", Rows A2-E2 would be formatted with a Blue background.
I've tried conditional formatting, but I can't built it into a Macro (I can't make it run), and it only highlights the cell that has that value. I also tried having the spreadsheet filter down to only the values I want highlighted, then highlighting all cells and un-filtering the column- this didn't work either.
It would basically say :
If (any cell in Row A) has text = "Deposit" (it needs to be exact, it can't be "containing"), set cell with the word "Deposit" and 4 cells to the right as Blue (I'm not picky about the color).
If I wanted to highlight a cell if any cell in the range to the right was greater than zero, what formula would i use. I have tried =IF(L1:AD1>0,1) with the result returning for only the cells in column L. Row 3 has no value in column L but a value in column N with no result to highlight the cell.
Let's assume Cell A2, A3, A4, etc, only contain names/text.
Then let's assume I have set up cell B2, B3, B4, etc, to contain a percentage value based on a formula and some other entries I have made.
It should be simple, but I'm having trouble - how do I set up A2, A3, A4, etc, to highlight into different colours based on Column B's data/percentage falling into a certain range?
ie: - if B2 is between 0% - 25%, then highlight A2 green - if B2 is between 26% - 50%, then highlight A2 orange - if B2 is between 51% - 100%, then highlight A2 red
How can I change the font color or highlight cell A1, when I select cell A2. Cell A2 is still blank, no value entered yet. I also would like cell A1 to return to original font color or no hightlight when cell A2 is no longer selected (active), whether a value is entered or not in cell A2. Let me clearify, (A1 thru N1) and (A3 thru N3) have diferent dates and the font color is white, as is the cell too. Therefor you can not see the dates in (A1 thru N1) or (A3 thru N3).
However, when any cell (A2 thru N2) or (A4 thru N4) is selected (example A4), the cell above it (cell A3) changes font color or highlights, so the date can be seen in (A3). But when cell (A4) is no longer selected the above cell (A3) hides the date (changes back to white font on white cell). Data or a value is not necessarily entered into (A4) for (A3) to change. (A4) is only selected to show the date in (A3). But if data or value is entered into (A4), the date in (A3) will still be seen until (A4) is no longer selected/active.
i have got a spredsheet, with clients names on it and in cell Q i have the clients account number, when iam looking at the clients name i also want to see the number, is there any way to highlight the cell i am on.
What i mean isusing the arrows keys i want to make the row highlighted, is there a way to do this
I have a file in which I Concatenate the cell values like A1, B1, C1 and this vlookup of this concatenated value to the another range where same concatenate is used.
what I want to do is:
highlight the cell which is different in two concatenates.
For ex. VLOOKUP CONCATENATE Value 1 Value 2
Value 3
CONCATENATE Value 1 Value 2
[code].....
As you can see, in the above example I want to highlight the cell value which is different in two concatenates.
I am running a time series linear regression on a credit card company. The left most column is the amount of cards they had on a certain year and the prediction is the cards the regression formula predicted. The + and - are the columns added or subtracted the standard error which is 3.25. I am trying to highlight the closest +/- number to the original cards. For example, in the first Row 76.98 is closer to 78 than 83 is so i would like to have 76.98 highlighted...showing that subtracting the standard error gave us the closest prediction. The second column the 87.085 cell should be highlighted because adding the standard error gave us the closest prediction to 86.4.
I have a spreadsheet that records "Audit Date" in column C & "Audit Due Date" in column D. "Audit Due Date" is always 2 years from "Audit Date". I think I learnt the correct forumla to use =EDATE(C2,24). What I would like Excel to do is to highlight "Audit Due Date":
Red: If the audit was completed 1.5 years+ Amber: If the audit was completed between 1 & 1.5 years Green: If the audit was completed less than 1 year The colour key will show me which audits need chasing.
I want to do it evaluate each row and if the last value for that row is X, then highlight that cell and the Server name for that row.
I have used conditional formatting but it seems that I cannot specify an option to look at the last cell in a row, evaluate that cell's value and then apply the formatting. I can only have conditional formatting highlight every cell in that row that matches the condition.
I only want the last cell, which represents the most current data, to be highlighted, as well as the category name, if the condition is met.
Just "upgraded" my Excel to the 2007 version. In the old Excel, I could superscript part of a cell by highlighting the part I want, then going to "Format" and "Superscript."
In Excel 2007, it doesn't work. Yes, I can highlight the part of the cell I want to superscript, I can right-click and select "format" and "Superscript", and it even then shows as superscripted in the cell. That is, until I hit enter or move to a new cell. Then the superscript is no longer there. The cell is in "general" number format.
By the way, it did work in another cell: mg/l3 (3 superscripted) works. 742 (2 superscripted) doesn't work.
I don't know if this can be done but I will ask you guys anyway
On the attached, you will see what I want to happen
If a user enters text into row "T" that contains "QIN" can conditional formatting highlight the cell in row N a solid colour if no numbers have been entered? As a reminder to users..
I have a macro that already works well but I need to make a change to it and I can't figure out how to do it.
I need so when the macro is run it will prompt the user for a date. After they enter the date it will highlight cells A:K on each row that data appers.
A little background for this. It is a schedule for a call centre which can show two to three weeks of schedules per agent. We rerun the macro each day to update break times and I would like it so it will highlight todays line.
