Conditional Formatting using formulas

Hi

Have you got a sample worksheet without confidential information that you can post.

Chris

Try

Conditional Formatting

• Highlight applicable range >> A1:X100
• Home Tab >> Styles >> Conditional Formatting
• New Rule >> Use a formula to determine which cells to format
• Edit the Rule Description: Format values where this formula is true: =$X1="Bad"
• Format… [Number, Font, Border, Fill]
• OK >> OK

Now add a second condition for =$V1="Good"

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook. The workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

To attach a file to your post,
click advanced (next to quick post),
scroll down until you see "manage file",
click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.

Thanks a lot jeffreybrown you got it right !
It worked but I wonder why I can't use the default styles ("Good", "Neutral" and "Bad") with this rule ?





I'm sorry I guess I wasn't clear enough, so here's a sample file
Babouh_Worksheet_sample.xlsx

When I put a "V" in "Available" I want the whole line to change format to "Good" (Green default format)


Before I set the thread to "solved", anybody knows how I could use the "Good", "Neutral" and "Bad" styles with the conditional formatting ?


Thanks again !

Conditional formatting will not accept the array format, i.e., {"Good","Neutral","Bad"}.

You will have to set three conditions.

Beats me why they did some things they way they did????
