    Conditional Formatting using multiple colored data bars

    I have a sheet that is using a Data Bar (conditional formatting). I was wondering if it is possible to change the color based on the score that is creating the bar graphic (ie score is between 0-20 : 2-6 should be red, 8-10 should be orange, 12-14 should be yellow, 16-20 should be green). So far I have only been able to do 1 color bar.

    Re: Conditional Formatting using multiple colored data bars

    This may be possible using VBA, but I have played around trying different options, and what you want (change color based on value), does not seem possible with the data bar option. If yoy change to 3-color, it starts towards what you want, but then the bar lengths are all the same
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    That's kind of what I thought was going to happen. I guess I was hoping that I wouldn't have to try and remember how to do that!
    Thanks for the reply
