Condition 1
Formula Is =AND(H150,H15<75)
Pattern RED

Condition 2
Cell Value Is greater than or equal To 75
Pattern GREEN

Does that have any impact upon anything else or would the two ISNUMBER
formulae be the 'correct' way to go?

snip

Try entering a text value in cell H15 and see what happens.

I use Isnumber to add a little more robutness. Isnumber eliminates the empty
cell problem and the TEXT problem at the same time. I always use the
"Formula is" option. Just my personal preference, but writing a formula
gives you more versatility.

One last question if I may...as I use H15 & H16 to input the scores of
what
I call Pre and Post Test results is there a way to highlight H16 if it
turns
out to be lower than the score in H15?

For H16:

Formula is: =AND(COUNT(H15,H16)=2,H16<H15)

Using Count makes sure both cells are not empty and both cells contain
numbers and it's shorter than:

=AND(ISNUMBER(H15),ISNUMBER(H16),H16<H15)
=AND(COUNT(H15,H16)=2,H16<H15)

Thanks Biff,

I have moved away from the Percentage and formatted the cell as a number.

I see you use ISNUMBER in your formula

I currently have;

Condition 1
Formula Is =AND(H150,H15<75)
Pattern RED

Condition 2
Cell Value Is greater than or equal To 75
Pattern GREEN

Does that have any impact upon anything else or would the two ISNUMBER
formulae be the 'correct' way to go?

I only used AND as it was shorter, easier to type and reduced the chance
of
me making a mistake!

what
I call Pre and Post Test results is there a way to highlight H16 if it
turns
out to be lower than the score in H15?

Theoretically the Post Test score would usually be higher but it would be
good to flag it if it turns out to be lower than the Pre Test score.

Would this be complicated to achieve?

Thanks & regards,

Oops!

Missed this portion:

What would the Conditional Formatting be if I wanted H15 to be left
uncoloured if there is no value, red if the value is below 75 and green
if
75 or above?

Condition 1
Formula is: =AND(ISNUMBER(H15),H15<0.75)
Set color to RED

Condition 2
Formula is: =AND(ISNUMBER(H15),H15=0.75)
Set color to GREEN

Hi Biff,

No...no other conditions at all...

No formula in the cell either...wait a minute...would it matter if the
Format Cells/Number is set for a Percentage?
.

.

Yup...that's it...if I set it to a number it works as you guys thought
it
would.

OK...how's about my setting it to a number instead of a percentage?

Or what should the formula be if I left it as a percentage?

<mind racing away here

What would the Conditional Formatting be if I wanted H15 to be left
uncoloured if there is no value, red if the value is below 75 and green
if
75 or above?

Sorry for all the questions...

Thanks & regards,

Hmmm.....

Do you have any other conditions? Condition 2 and/or condition 3?

If this is the ONLY condition it should work!

Thanks for the quick reply Biff.

Did I miss something here or was my original post not as clear as it
should
have been...

I tried your formula but even though at rest the cell is clear
(good)
if
I
enter 75 or above the Cell is still red (bad)?

I only want it to change to Red if below 75 - if 75 or above I do
not
want
to colour it - just leave it as a normal cell...

Thanks for your patience!

Regards,

Hi!

Just a little tweak is all you need.

Use the Formula Is option
Formula is: =AND(ISNUMBER(H15),H15<75)

I'll never get the hang of this...:-(

I had a similar problem recently that was solved in this ng
(Thanks
Dave:-)
but have a related problem that I thought I could solve by
applying
the
same
logic - alas it was not meant to be for me :-(

I want to use Conditional Formatting to achieve the following -
if
the
value
in Cell H15 is lower than 75 then colour it red.

This I can achieve quite easily by using the following in
Condition
1:

If Cell Value is Less Than 75 then Format Pattern Red

However I do not want the cell to be coloured Red if there is no
value
in
there at all - I only want to be able to turn the cell red after
I
have
input the value and that value is less than 75

Obviously I need to test for input in H15 prior to checking if it
is
below
75 and invoking the colour change if it is - leaving no change if
it
has
no
value or is 75 or above.

I have tried using a COUNTA but cannot seem to get it to work.

Can some kind soul help me out on this one (again) please?
