Conditional Format To Mark Increase From Previous Column
Sep 5, 2013
I have a goal set for the year. With conditional formatting, each month will be set to either red or yellow based on where it stands in relation to the goal. I would also like to show an increase or decrease in productivity for each month. I tried to use conditional formatting with the formula:
=IF(C2=D2, "", IF(C2<D2,"↗","↘")).
The formula works on its own without the conditional formatting so I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I've attached a sample with all the conditional formatting and formulas in place.

do a conditional format rule that will highlight every other row of my excel spreadsheet when the value in a specific Column (say Column A) differs than the previous.
I've attached a sample worksheet with what I want it to look like after the conditional format rule is applied (every other row highlighted in light blue). The rule needs to apply to all rows in the worksheet beginning with ROW 2 (I don't need the rule to apply to the column header which is in ROW 1).

I have a lot of data (regarding graffiti) in a table and all my formulas work well. But, because I sometimes make an error in two columns of data I sometimes get results that do not balance. I want to put in a conditional format (?Is there a better way?) that will highlight the error as I enter the data. Can you help please?
Using Excel 2003 (sp3) and no add ons. There are lots of identical rows, 5:400, making up a table. I will use row 10 as an example.
In column M there is a formula which may or may not give a visible result. (It's a measure of the number of days taken to clean the graffiti and will only hold a result if the job has been finished.) The result for "M10" will be a number between 0 and 5 90% of the time, but may creep up to 30. It may also leave the cell looking blank although the formula itself is still lurking out of sight.
A matching row of cells, O10:T10, have no formulas in them. I must manually enter a "w" or an "a" into ONE of these columns, depending on the graffiti location (Worthing or Adur) and property ownership (Columns for residential, commercial, council etc.)
So now the errors I need to flag up as I enter data are to ensure that M and O:T balance. There should always be a result in M if there is an entry somewhere in O:T and if there is an entry in M there must be an entry somewhere in O:T.
Sometimes I mistakenly put an entry in O:T even if there was no result in M. Sometimes there is a result in M and I fail to put an entry in O:T. I need to be alerted as this happens, if possible. It will save hours of trying to track down my data entry errors.
BUT, there is already one conditional format already in M. It highlights the cell if it goes over 5 days for cleaning. =ISNUMBER(M10)*(M10>5).
If you can help, thank you very much. I thank you, my wife thanks you for me not doing overtime trying to track down my errors, my boss's thank you for making me more efficient and other forum readers may thank you for helping them to improve their sheets.

Can you make the first part (the logical test) be anything other than a numerical value? I want a value to display only if a check mark (using the wingding font for the check mark) appears next to certain items in a list. For example: =If(A1=checkmark,B1+C1,""). If I am not clear maybe I can explain it another way.

I have the following code. I am trying to conditional format a row based on the value of the A column of the row.I have a total of 3 rows. I have to use VBA because in time I may have 4 rows of data. The problem is I after the first do while loop the code stops and the code doesn't proceed to format row 2.

Is it possible to format a row of cells (B7:KX7) depending on the value in column (G7:G1000) changing?
For example column G might have the following value entered into them.
A
A
A
B
B
B
C
C
C
So all the rows containing the letter A would be formatted one colour, then it would notice it changed to B and format all the rows with the letter B in, then C etc... The letters would always appear in blocks of 10 or more (representing students in a group) so it wouldn't go A,B,A,B,C,D,E
I am not bothered about the letter being tied to a certain colour, it just needs to change when the letter changes. I'd have no more than 10 different variables in this column, meaning no more than 10 different colours to format. Formatting would be black text with different coloured backgrounds.

conditional formatting in Excel. I have two columns with pertinent information. I need to know the following and format accordingly:
1. Is the number in column A positive or negative?
2. Is the number in column B less than 0.05 or 0.10?
I would then like Column C to just be highlighted a certain color depending on the combination... there are 5 possible combinations and I would like the cells to be formatted so that:
1. Positive and less than 0.05 - Bright yellow
2. Positive and less than 0.10 - Pale yellow
3. Negative and less than 0.05 - Bright green
4. Negative and less than 0.10 - Pale green
5. This "combo" just means the criteria wasn't meant... which is possible b/c sometimes Column A may have text instead of a number of b/c the number in column B is not less than 0.10. If either of these is true, I want the cell to remain blank.

I want to format 3 columns in excel depending on certain value from another column.
By example: I have the columns A B C completed with some text. On the column D it will be the numbers 0 or 1. If the number is 0 the background color from A,B,C columns shall be Green, if the number is 1 the color shall be red.
I have tried in conditional formatting with the formula =$D$1=0 but the color of the columns are changing only depending on the value from cell D1. I don't know what is the correct formula. For column A1 I want to check the value from D1, A2 - D2, A3 - D3,...,An - Dn.

I have a column of numbers (column A) which I'd like to compare to an adjacent column of numbers (column B) and, by row, determine if the number is larger.
If it is, I'd like to place a different colour on the cell. What is the formula I need to use to accomplish this?
Ex:
Col A Col B
30,000 5,000 - A is larger than B, therefore A is formatted RED
20,000 20,000 - A is the same as B, therefore no format applied
10,000 15,000 - A is less than B, therefore A is formatted GREEN

I am trying to conditionally format cells in column I (named range of ETID).
I want the cell to change shading if the cells do NOT meet this criteria:
Whole Number10 digitsstart with '0' or '1'I have this but it isn't working:
=AND(OR(LEFT($i2,1)="0",(LEFT($i2,1),1)="1"),OR(LEN($I2)<>10,($I2)<>""))

I need to make an entire column formatless if the cell in row 3 contains no text. I want the whole column to just appear like a normal formatless column, but if there is text in the row 3 cell, I want it to be the way I have it formatted right now.

Wondering if it is possible to conditional format cells in "Jan"-"Dec" columns based on "Next" column data?
What I need is (lets say fill colour to differ) in one cell per row, based on latest input and "next" data.
Month Avg
Date
Jan
Feb
Mar
Apr
May
Jun
Jul
[code]......
So for example:
row2: May is latest input so need fill in cell +2("next" column data) from may. In this case July
row3: Feb is latest imput and "next" also 2. Result should be Apr
row8:May is latest input, "next" is 6. Res should be Nov.
Finally, only one cell per row to be highlighted so need to overwrite colour fill when new data input in a cell already colour filled.

I have a price list from a friend. The price list has to have every other row shaded. This part is no problem with the conditional format command.
The real trick, at least to me, is the background shade of the row is based on the first two letters in the left most column.
For instance:
Column A
CPST4
CPST5
FLADS3EC
FLADS2EC
FIL4
CP rows would alternate with one color while FL rows would alternate with a different color and FI rows would alternate with another different color. All other rows would have no shading.
MacOffice Excel 08 is used so no VB code can be used.

Col A - budget items (description)
Col B - budget dollars
Col C - actual dollars
Row 10 - summation Cols B and C
When the budget is prepared the actual dollars in Col C are equal to the budget dollars for all items. For instance the formula =b2 is placed in cell C2. As time passes the user records actual dollars in Col C for each item by entering the actual amount directly into the cell. Actual dollars do not become known all at the same time, so that Col C will contain a mixture of formulas and entered numbers.
How can I highlight the cells in Col C that have entered numbers rather than formulas.

use of SUMPRODUCT and what I believe is called a double unary operator (--). Here's the original post with Paul's solution:
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...-new-post.html
I've since discovered that a previously unknown column of data (I'm transcribing data from paper documents) needs to be included in the calculations. Specifically, the new column of data (shown in yellow in the attached example) has to be taken into consideration when counting product quantities. An explanatory pseudo code statement, also appearing in yellow in the example sheet, describes.

I enter data in Cells starting at C3:O13 I enter 4 digit numbers 1131, 1212, 1122, 1215, 1201, 1207, 1133 etc. etc.
Here is my rule: I cannot have more than 8 numbers in the 1200 series in ROW 3 So I need conditional formatting to come up with a yellow background if I have 8 numbers in the 1200 series.
Example:
C3, C4, C5 etc.etc. 1131, 1212, 1122, 1215, 1201, 1207, 1214, 1233, 1122, 1230, 1216, 1122
1216 would highlight because it was the 8th cell in that row that contains a number in the 1200 series.

I have a macro that's supposed to update the value in column 1 when two conditions are met. Unfortunately it doesn't update the column at all:
Sheets("All_Records").Select
Dim item, rownum, maxrownum As Integer
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
maxrownum = Range("A2000").End(xlUp).Row
For rownum = 2 To maxrownum
If (Cells(rownum, 1).Value = "=") & (Cells(rownum, 29).Value = "OPEN") Then
With Cells(rownum, 1)
.Value = "APPROVED TRIAL"
End With
End If
Next rownum
End Sub
I took the code from another spreadsheet I have where it works fine. But there only one condition has to be met before the field is updated.

Is there a way I can highlight cells that are differ from their adjacent cells by more than 10%?
Sample case:
Month 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12
Sales 100 112 100 130 140 160 175 200 170 170 140 135
Here, In April, July and August, there is a sharp increase (>10%), while in September and November, there is a steep decline (>10%). I would like to format the sharp increases as Green, while sharp declines as red.
Can I do it using conditional formatting?
I know I can attain this by creating a separate row for Month/Month growth in above example. But this example is a simplified version of my data. Real data is a lot more complex, and I need to do the formatting without creating any additional columns/rows.

I am looking for a way to ease a 24,000 line duplicate list into showing just the files from a specific folder/subfolder and its dupes. I have marked the files that reside in that folder by adding a column and entering a "1" in it. What I am looking for is a way to add that "1" to the others of that unique numerical ID duplicates, so I can sort and trim the list to just those files. End result is to show files in one folder and the locations of duplicates of those files elsewhere for eventual cleanup.
Very loosely, if C2=C1 and B1=1, then make B2=1 (and so on)
(A is blank and only there in case a formula needs input there)
A B C
110121
10121
118134
18134
18134
124232

I'm creating an excel document that tracks the amount of time someone has (in months) in the program. Certain residents are able to 'fast track' if they meet conditions, and I am trying to create this spreadsheet so that anyone who looks at it can tell who qualifies (and when).
The issue I'm having is with conditional formatting, because I don't know how to do it with mutliple conditions.
Column C is their previous time (months) in the program
Column D is their current time (months) in the program
Column E is their total time in the program (Sum C+D)
Coumn E is what I would like to format, based on the following rules set out in the program manual:
If previous time is 9 months or more, a resident is eligible to fast track after 6 months current time (format green).
If previous time is less than 6 months, a resident is eligible to fast track after 9 months current time (format green).
I understand that their is an odd gap - but these are the rules currently set out by the program manual, which is what I have to follow.
I'm using Excel 2007 - if that changes anything.
