Conitional Formatting
How do you use 'If' statements to automatically colour cells?
i.e. if >5 make the cell green, if <5 make it red....
RE: Conitional Formatting
Hello Alex
Thank you for your question
Highlight the column with the values in it. Then go to the Formatting menu and choose, Conditional formatting. In the first box select 'Cell Value Is', in the second box select 'greater than' and enter 5 in the value box. Click the Format button and format either the font colour on the first tab or the background colour on the pattern tab. Click OK to both boxes and the conditional formatting should take effect immediately.
Ensure the column is highlighted and go back into the conditional formatting tool. Click the add button, You can add another rule for the green/red in the same way.
If this resolves your question, please mark it as resolved. If not, please reply with more information.
Kind regards
Cress

Excel tip:The dual nature of toolbar buttonsMany toolbar buttons are dual purpose, though the two purposes are often linked in some way. For example, Align Left aligns a cell's contents to the left of the cell. However, hold down Shift and press the Align Left button: Excel aligns the cell contents to the right. |
