Well let me try to be clear. I need a formular that says any value between 90
and 100 in cell E1 should make cell A1 indicate the word "green" otherwise it
should be blank
Any value between 80 and 89 in E1 should make B1 indicate the word "yellow"
otherwise it should be blank
Any value less than 80 in E1 should make C1 indicate the word
"red".Otherwise it should be blank.

Hope this helps in your helping me.

I don't understand what you mean. What does '... other go blank ...' refer
to, and what does '... return with the range of values show up ...' mean?

Yes I did the main problem is getting the others go blank and having the
return with the range of values show up.

Did you adjust the A1 in David's formula to the cell that you are testing
against?

And you used conditional formatting? And you set the pattern colour in CF
for conditions that meet?

For Format/ Conditional Formatting you can either use "Cell Value Is"

or you can use "Formula Is" =AND(A1=85,A1<=95)
