    Programming Cells To Change Colors

    I have a spreadsheet that someone who is no longer working for us set up.
    They set up a column of cells to change different colors depending on the
    number value in that cell. (Current Example: If the number is between 5-7
    the cell turns green) I need to change the cell to change to green if the
    number is between 5-6.75.

    Does anyone know how to do this?

    Sincerely,

    Michelle

    Shel Bell,
    Two ways this function can be achieved. One through programming (macros) and one through the Excel feature called Conditional Formatting. I suspect that it is the latter.
    Try selecting the cells that behave this way and go to

    FORMAT>CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

    This should bring up the conditional formatting dialog and you should see something like:

    Cell Value Is Between 5 7

    Change the 7 to 6.75

    Conditional formatting. See http://www.contextures.com/xlCondFormat01.html
