My formula is =IF((C2+E2)>D2,"WIN","LOSE") Could some one please tell me the new formula if I wanted the cells with "WIN" to be green, and the 'LOSE' cells to be yellow. Excel 2010
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You would need this to be done using Conditional Formatting, as you can't change cell colour using a cell formula.
In the conditional formatting, select "New Rule", then "Format only cells that contain". Choose "Cell Value", "equal to", "WIN" (without the quotation marks).
Repeat this for "LOSE".
Hope this helps
Hi and welcome to the forum
follow ajryan's instructions to apply the Conditional Formatting, but they left out the actual formula...
for the 1st rule (equal to)...
=C2+E2>D2
for the 2nd rule (Lose)
=C2+E2<=D2
Highlight the entire range you want the CF to apply to, before you go into the CF window
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

@FDibbins: you don't need a formula if you choose "Format only cells that contain", you only need to provide a cell value, which is either "WIN" or "LOSE"
aahhh yes, good point aj, I should have read your post properly
