    Re: conditional formatting

    Hi Blake

    When value is 0, then cell is green.

    Try the second condition of the conditional formatting.

    Do it between 1 to 5

    Not 0 to 5

    Hope to helps you.


    Note: As i use excel2003, i see 3 conditions...

    Re: conditional formatting

    Hello Blake,

    you have four conditional formatting rules active on the range. Two of them format the range in a shade of red (i.e. value < 0 and value >= 10). The latter one is TRUE, because an empty cell evaluates to =0.

    What do you actually want to achieve?

    You may need to use formulas instead of the pre-fab Excel default "cell value" cases.

    cheers,

    Re: conditional formatting

    Hi Tey, how how you? hope that you are well and enjoying your exalted position as an MVP!

    What I want to achieve is this.

    Cells B10:B107 are a deadline countdown which tell the user how many days there are left to respond to a complaint.

    I wanted to add conditional formatting so it is very clear at a glance which ones are urgent.

    So, the RAG is based on Green = 10 days and over left to respond Amber = between 6 and 9 days left to respond and Red 5 days and less left to respond obviously -days when deadline in the past will be red too.

    The issue i am encountering is the the Blank Cells withing the range b10:b107 are appearing as red. I would like them to be left without formating! cheers

    Thanks for your response.
