It might be easier to use a Helper column that contains a formula that looks
at these 25 other cells and returns TRUE or FALSE. Then your CF formula can
refer just to that one cell.

A caveat: you say 25 cell. Remember that the limit on nested IF statement is
7.

Also, you have only 3 conditional formats plus the default format.

I need to set conditional formatting based on multple separate cells within a

I'm looking to change the color of a cell, based on , <, or = conditions,
of 25 other cells that are not connected to eachother.
I'm thinking I may need to do a macro, but am not familiar enough with them,
nor Excel to figure it out.
Any help will be GReATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
