    Color Scale Not Working

    I can't seem to figure out why the color scale isn't working for some cells in this workbook. For instance, A7 should be red/orange and it is green.

    Go to conditional formatting | manage rules and delete the various rules you have there for cells in that column. Next, click on the A to select the whole of the A column, then go to conditional formatting and select colour scales - select the green - amber - red icon. All done.

    Maybe you have too many rules, change it to just column A

    Re: Color Scale Not Working

    That seems to have done the trick! Any idea why excel gets confused with multiple of the same rule?

    Thanks for the rep - glad to have helped! Not sure about Excel's confusion, but there's no good reason I can see for having more than one rule applied to the whole column. Employ the KISS principle!

    Re: Color Scale Not Working

    I assume the a color scale should interpolate a value/color based on relative position in the range of values
    Attachment 866355
    Conditional Formatting | Color Scales | Red - Yellow - Green Color Scale
    Data range 11700 to 35600.
    Two sets of numbers within that range
    different color for the value 22635 depending on other vales in the range!
