Hi
1. Conditional format:
- select the cells and goto 'Format - Conditional Format'
- enter this condition (larger than 5)

2. For this just refer to the condition and enter the following formula
=COUNTIF(A1:C1,"5")

Hi everyone,

Say I have this in an excel sheet:

3.5 12.4 6.3

Using "Conditional Fromat" I color cells with red when a value is
5.
So, in this case, both 12.4 and 6.3 will be in red.

Now, suppose in a 4th column, I want to count the # of red-colored
cells so things will look like this:

3.5 12.4 6.3 2

How can I do this in excel?

Thanks alot,
Mike
