Changing the font color within a cell based on the value of another cell

Welcome to the forum.

There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook (yellow banner: HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK). Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.

A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. The sample layout accurately matches that of your real data. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

Administrative Note:

Is your forum profile showing the Excel PRODUCT that you need this to work for?

Members will tailor the solutions they offer to the Office PRODUCT (Excel, NOT Windows) that you have. Please check that your forum profile is up-to-date in this respect. If you aren't sure, in Excel go to File | Account and report what it says below the MS logo at the top of that page. If your product is for Mac, please also state this.

The three most recent Excel products are Excel 2019, Excel 2021 and MS365 - if you are using MS365, please give this name along with the version number in your profile (e.g. MS365 Version 2306). This is in the About Excel section further down the Account page.

Thanks.

You have thanked me, but I still see no workbook attached and your forum profile has not been updated ...

OK - your choice.

But we still need your profile updating as we have no idea which version of Excel you are using.

I am not going to try to recreate our data from your opening post - sorry. I'll wait until you are in a position to provide the sample workbook.

MS365 is what needs to be in your profile but is not. Please change the profile to reflect this. You have given us our Windows version there.

There is still no workbook attached anywhere.

Yes, but you probably did't hit SAVE - catches loads of people out the first time! It's there now - I'll take a look.

CF rule for B1:

=A1<>""

and set text format to black.

Applies to: =$B$1:$B$14

Glad to have helped.

If that takes care of your original question, please choose Thread Tools from the menu link above and mark this thread as SOLVED. You can also access the SOLVED tag by editing the opening post and choosing SOLVED from the drop-down to the left of the title box.

LOL! Don't worry.
