    Changing Cell Colours Based on Conditions

    Hello,

    Here is what I have done/learned so far:

    On a Summary worksheet, I obtain the same cell information from multiple work sheets in a column. In that same summary worksheet, I have cells, that if I change the value in the cell, the values in the column (the column containing different data from the other spreadsheets) will change. If the values are between two numbers, I would like to change the cell colour. I have read about conditional formatting, but once that is done, the cell colour won't change again or "update". Is there a way to make this happen without writing a macro? Or should I start learning how to do that? I hope my explanation makes sense.

    I should add that I am using Excel 2007.

    Bonjour Nathalie,
    Welcome to this forum.
    With conditional formatting, you need to define multiple conditions in order for your cells to change color back and forth.
    1. You set a condition so the cell changes color if between 2 numbers.
    2. you set another condition that will return to NO COLOR if the cell is outside those 2 numbers.

    If you need help setting these, please attach a sample workbook so we can help you with your actual sheet layout.
    Regards
    Pierre Leclerc

    Hi Pierre, thanks for your help! I was able to get it working after some fighting with it. I suppose I just needed some patience.
