How to change cell colors based on an IF statement formula?
Conditional formatting does NOT allow references to other worksheets BUT you
can give the other worksheet cell a name like basecell and then use in cell
d14
formatconditionalformattingleft drop select formula istype in
=d14basecell*1.01
or whatever.set formats desired.

om...
Hello. I am trying to do a simple color-coded exception report in
Excel and can't find any decent documentation on cell formulas (the
online help in Excel 2000 is kind of arcane).
I am trying to compare a cell value on two different sheets. If there
is a variance = 1% across the two cells, then I want to say "= 1%
variance exists, AND I want to change the cell color to red.
So far, here's the formula I am using. I don't think I am doing the
variance calculation correctly, and I can't figure out how to change
the cell color after I change the cell text to "1% variance exists".
=IF(sheeta!B2-sheetb!B2=ABS(1%),"1% variance exists","ok")
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
Tom
