Conditional Formatting

[melbin]

Hi,

Can anyone help me to color the attached spreadsheet using conditional formatting.

D3:H22 is the range. The condition is if the value in the cell E3 is greater than the value in the cell D3, E3 should be in green. If the value in the cell E3 is lesser than the value in the cell D3, E3 should be in red. And the cell E3 is blank, it should colour yellow.

Likewise i need to colour D3:H33 based on this condition.

To be specific, the value in a cell is greater than the value in the adjacent cell (left side cell) it should colour green and if it is less colour red and if any cell is blank, colour yellow.

melbin, Good evening.

Is that what you want?

I hope it helps.

1. Select the range E3:H22 - this is the range you want to format.
2. Click Conditional Formatting → New Rule → Use a formula to determine which cells to format.
3. Enter this formula:
=E3>D3
Choose green fill.

Repeat, using this formula and red fill:
=E3<D3

Repeat, using this and yellow fill:
=E3=""

You don't say what you want if the value is the same as the cell to the left.
If you want it green, change the first formula to use >= instead of >.

That should do it.

Sorry for off-topic interjection:

Although there is no official rule regarding this behaviour, we request that wherever possible both the question AND the answer be provided in substantive detail here within the thread. An attached workbook is an excellent aid for posing a question and offering a solution, but solely doing that with no in thread explanation makes it difficult for researchers to understand or consider the Q & A of this thread without downloading what may be a pointless doc to them, if they can do that at all. Doing that also hides the content from search engines so others may never benefit from this.

I'm sure you understand, and we look forward to seeing you post your formulas/macros in your posts for the searching benefit of all.

Thanks again for all your hard work here!
