    Conditional Formating Help

    Ok I have a box that is uses the icon set (stoplight- Red, green, yellow). Is there a way to edit the color of these circles? It's supposed to be the color of a stoplight but the yellow and green (especially the yellow) is really a dull color of yellow and green. I can't seem to find a way to change the color of these icons (if there is a way).

    Any help would be much appreciated I've attached an example.

    Thanks!

    The only thing you can change is the icons. One alternative is use Wingdings font (character l) and incorporate with conditional formatting using formula.

    That would work, but I'm not sure how you would incorporate with conditional formatting using a formula? So basically I wanted the circles to be red if the score to the right was 0, yellow if 1 and green if 2. Would you kindly show me an example of how you would incorporate this using a fromula. My goal is to make this as automated as possible because my boss had been inserting individual shapes to do it which was very time consuming.

    Thanks!

    Re: Conditional Formating Help

    In the attached you will find three CF rules applied to the range:

    =I5=0 (text set to red)
    =I5=1 (text set to amber)
    =I5=2 (text set to green)

    Hope this helps.
