Column H contains text data as follows down the rows: BIKE/CAR/TRUCK.
Column N contains text data that would be entered free text by user down the rows; however, if the data entered in column N is not contained in column H it would warn the data is not contained in column H. Example: BOAT is not found in column H. Note; it could contain all text in column H for that row or just one word in column H for that row.
The goal is to recognize the text entered in column N is not contained in column H, warn and change the color of the text in column N to red.
I attempted to use Data/Validation, and Conditional Formatting; none seem to have a contain function.
Is there a formula or VBA I may use or any thoughts?
I have a table. I want to apply conditional formatting to the entire table so that wherever a cell contains a dropdown list (validation list) the cell is formatted with a different colour.
I have a table that is a list for validating values in a column .what I want to do is instead of getting an error message anf stopping if the entered value is not valid the cells become red.
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.
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 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)
Sheet 2 has my friend's team (12 players). Each, a dropdown list on the player of sheet 1.
When a player will be eleminated, i will manually change his background to red in the list of sheet 1.
I want the background of the sheet 2 related to the player eliminated to change to red as well at the same time... how to do it automatically, without having to put a conditionnal formatting on EACH cell in sheet 2 ?
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.
I've set a conditional format to flag the row green if cell e2 has a Y or a N in the cell.
Currently i have the following conditional format formula is as
=IF($E$2="y",TRUE,FALSE) this is set to change row to green =IF($E$2="n",TRUE,FALSE) this is set to change row to red
My Questions =
What i want to do is copy this formula through the 500 or so rows and have the formula adust to =IF($E$3="y",TRUE,FALSE) For row 3 =IF($E$4="y",TRUE,FALSE) for row 4 =IF($E$5="y",TRUE,FALSE) for row 5
Ect.
I've tried using the formate painter but all it does is set all row to conditionally format dependant on what is in Cell E2. Thoughts on how to copy this formula is conditional format so i don't have to manually adjust it line by line. Doing this 500 times over would be a pain.
I am using Data Validation for my drop down list, using “List” and “source” =$A$132:$A$159 along with Conditional Formatting that changes different fill colors, depending on selection. Is there a way to use VBA with a command button that when selected would give the user a dialog box so that they could enter additional comment that would be added to existing list and would also be able to select a fill color for that new selection.
Below I have a recorded Marco to give an idea of what I would like to achieve, but of course using a input box of some sort to make selections of text and color
I have conditional formatting for a range of cells eg. =COUNTA(AC3,AD3,AE3,AH3) It is currently set so that cell A3 changes to Green if AC3 is populated, Red if AD is populated, Orange if AE3 populated & white if AH is populated.
AE3 has data validation (Yes or No).
I need AE3 to change to White if no is selected and Orange if Yes is selected.
Conditional formatting: If a cell contains a string, say "NCT" or "nct", conditional format shall work. The string may be with a date entered i.e. "05/05/2006 NCT"
Same said cell is currently set to only allow dates. How can i achieve that Data Validation: Can data validation be set to only allow a date, and/or "date NCT" as above?
I have column of cells, both of with have drop down menus to select information from. I have an adjacent cell to display an error based on conditions. Is there a way to have conditional formatting to apply to the cells with Data Validation to change the color, based on the error. I have tried using the Conditional Formatting options but it still does not change the color of them. I believe i have to use the formula option, but not exactly sure what to put, i know a if statement could work but unsure on how, there are only two conditions that i would need for it to apply, if the adjacent cell has an error, and when it does not. Is this possible?
On sheet 1 I enter data such as: Visit Date | Customer Name | Customer Number | Job Number | Product
On Sheet 2 i have a list of our 130 products which would be similar to '1130Tots Standard 24" ' I have made these as a list so we can choose from the list using data validation.
Now, out of the 130 products we have about 4 main different Catagories - Tots Direct, Tots RTS, Direct, RTS. - I could put what category they are in in a column next to the list on Sheet 2.
What i would like to happen is if e.g. a product is chosen from the drop down list, it could look in the cell in the column next to it and see what Catagory it is in and format the entire row on Sheet 1.
E.g. Direct changes colour to grey, Tots RTS to Pink, Tots Direct to Grey/Pink stripes, RTS stays standard no colour.
A bit of a development on a question i asked last week to cut out another stage. Currently people have to enter the product, then choose in the next column whether is is Direct, RTS, Tots Direct, Tots RTS then conditional formating will colour the rows. - Want to know if it is possible to do this all in 1 go by selecting the product from the list.
some cells in column C:C and row 6:6 contains information [are not empty]
Now I'd like to place a border on all cells in between, but only if both, the cell in C:C and the cell in row 6:6 of the corresponding cell in between are not empty.
1. A1 needs to turn red if a value greater than $2,000 is inserted. 2. A1 will turn back to white if either "John Doe" or "Jane Doe" is inserted in B1. 3. If no value is inserted in A1, A1 needs to remain white. 4. I'll need to do the same for A2-B2, and so on.
That's it. I tried this in C1: =IF(AND(A1>2000,B1="JANE DOE"),1,IF(AND(A1>2000,B1="JOHN DOE"),1,0)).
I then used Conditional Formatting in A1 to point to C1 and turn the red in A1 off or on based on the result. Hey, it worked! Problem is, A1 needs to stay white until a value is entered, and no value entered returns 0 (red), which oddly enough is exactly what I'm telling it to do. Surprise! How do I get A1 to default to white until a value is entered in A1?
I would like to validate data but cant quite get the formula right. I have a cell (say F7) that cannot be blank if (say E7) another cell equals a text value (say "S"). Anyone have an idea? I am stumped at this seemingly easy task. I am applying the validation below to F7.
I forgot to add the valid combinations: E7 = P and F7 = Entry: OK E7 = P and F7 = Blank: OK E7 = S and F7 = Entry: OK E7 = S and F7 = Blank: INVALID
I have tried the formula: =IF(AND(E7="S",ISBLANK(F7)),1,0) within the validation window but blank entries are still allowed. I put this code in adjacent cells as a formula, the values are correct either 1 or 0.
I have a pretty simple spreadsheet (because I'm not an expert on excel) to track temp staffing requirements each week over a year. It only has about 150 rows and a bunch of columns but when I try to make it bigger (add more rows so I can put about 70 staffing positions instead of 19) it will not save (cannot save all of the data and formatting). I have read on the microsoft site that there are limits to data formatting, but it describes over 2000 rows?
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 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.
