I am trying to figure out a formula that states the following, for example If D4 is greater than D3, then make the cell green. If D4 is less than D3, then make the cell red. And if D4=D3, then make the cell blue.
Is this possible to do? I have tried several if functions.
hi ekr. there's a shorter method in Excel 2007 & above using all the common features. but here's the formula way of doing it where you can use all sorts of formulas:
select the range you want to apply to (say D4)
go to Home -> Conditional Formatting -> New Rule -> Use a formula to determine which cells to format -> Format values where this formula is true:
=D4>D3
format green
repeat the steps & change the formula:
=D4<D3
Red
=D4=D3
blue
the shorter step is go to Home -> Conditional Formatting -> Highlight Cell Rules. then you have a bunch of common things people use. Greater than, Less Than, Equal to. then simply put the cell reference in

Apply CF using these 3 formulae (in any order)
=D4=D3 (Format blue)
=D4<D3 (Format red)
=D4>D3 (Format green)
