    Need Help. Conditional formatting a cell if between two values or not between

    Hi, I have searched all around but cannot get anything to work. What I want to do is create conditional formatting or VBA (with some help) to fill a cell RED if MAX(I4:R4)>MAX(E4:F4), MIN(I4:R4)<MIN(E4:F4) Else fill cell green.
    Im open to any suggestions, solutions. I have a attached a sample of what I would like to do.
    Thanks a head of time.

    do both criteria have to be met, or just 1 of them?

    1. highlight the range you want to apply the conditional formatting to
    2. on the home tab, styles, select CF
    3. select new rule, select use formula
    4. enter =OR(MAX(I4:R4)>MAX(E4:F4), MIN(I4:R4)<MIN(E4:F4)) if either is met
    or =and(MAX(I4:R4)>MAX(E4:F4), MIN(I4:R4)<MIN(E4:F4)) if both need to be met
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    =median(i4;e4;f4)=i4
    You can also use this short formula
    If the result is 'true' then 'green' else 'red'.

    Sorry, this wil only work with one value (i4)not with a range (I4:R4)

    Check out the conditional formatting on cells I17 → M17

    Conditional Formatting has a check for "Cell Value Is"
    "between" _____ and _____
    and
    "not between" _____ and _____

    I just selected the cells that are labeled Specification / Limits

    Is that what you are looking for?


    Edit: Note I put $ on the column but not the row number that way you can stretch the cells down to the range you want, if you are so inclined.

    Sorry I forgot to set a no color as default see this example for the cell to be blank if no value is entered.

    Check out the conditional formatting on cells I17 → M17

    Cell Value is equal to 0 = blank
    Cell Value is between $E17 and $F17 = Green
    Cell Value is not between $E17 and $F17 = Red

    This worked. I guess I was over analyzing it and trying to make it into a more complex if then. I didnt really think about the multiple conditions. Sorry and thanks

    No worries, sometimes it just takes another set of eyes to see it differently.
