    Is there a way to create a table and use that table to format cells

    So we sell bare roots that have different pricing when you buy bulk.
    Generally, If you buy 1-2 plants, they're $4 each. If you buy 3-11, they're $3 each. 12-35 = $1.75/ea. 36-99 = $1.25.
    When we export an Inventory report out of our Order Processing software into Excel, Excel thinks that the price breaks (4-3) is actually a date of 4/3.
    I'm aware that you can create custom formats for cells, but we have so many price breaks that it seems to be too large of a string to fit all the price breaks.

    Is there a way to create a table and use that as a reference to format cells?

    "Price Matrix Legend": Shows example of how the report Should look
    "Custom Format":
    * Original Report Worksheet: Shows how the original report exports into Excel from our order processing software
    * PRICE MATRIX Worksheet: Shows the custom formatting that we need to use
    * PRICE MATRIX pic: Shows the custom formatting I'd like to choose, so Excel knows how to interpret values


    If this exceeds Excel's limitations, then maybe a mass 'Find and Replace' method would work better...

    My apologies if this sounds confusing or left anything out!

    Thank you in advance!

    Re: Create large custom format to cells

    No - what does it mean? It doesn’t mean anything, frankly.

    The question you asked in the middle of your opening post would make a good title - use that?
