Hi Ellie

No problem.
Repeat the procedure for setting Conditional formatting, and here I am
assuming the first cell marked in your range is A1.
Change the cell reference below to whatever is the first cell for you.

This time we are going to use the dropdown on Cell Value is to select
"Formula is" each time instead of "Cell Value"

Condition 1
Formula is =AND(A1<"",A1<=0) Format Yellow
Condition2
Formula is =AND(A1<"",A1<=100) Format Orange
Condition3
Formula is =AND(A1<"",A1<=3000) Format Red

Sorry, Roger. A slight misunderstanding on the new criteria.

If less than 0 or = 0 to be yellow, but if cell is blank to show no
format.
Now also anything less than 100 to be yellow and less than 300 to be
red.
Haven't found a way round the blank cell having no format, but
knowledge is
limited in this area.

Many thanks.

Thank you Roger, it worked great. Unfortunately the powers that be
have just
come along and requested a change of criteria.

The request is now as follows:-

If a figure less than 0, to be yellow, but when blank to be white. I
have
used your information provided earlier to allow for anything less
than 100 to
be orange and anything less than 300 to be red.

Many thanks.

I have a spreadsheet which I require the numbers 1-300 to be
green,
301-800
to be orange and anything 801 and in excess to be red.

The only way I seem to be able to do this is by establishing a
sheet,
which
I hide within my worksheet, listing consecutive numbers in 3
separate
columns
and naming green, orange and red and using the formula is aspect
of
conditional formatting along with a countif formula.

Is there an easier way of doing this, as there are occasions when
the
ranges
are changed?

Many thanks for any help offered.
