hi community
how can I use the Formula Is in the Conditional Formatting dialog box in this scenario.. A B 1 7500 2 10000 3 3000 how to have the value in cell A1, A2, A3 data to have font color when each cell satisfy the following condition... <=3000 be "Red" / <=7500 be "Green" / <=10000 be "Tan" I tried using the Conditional Formatting with Cell Value is, I can do only for Pattern color but I wish to use the Formula Is and turn only the number into their respective color.. can anybody kindly enlighten me on this... thanks community for the kind assistance :) -- oldLearner57 |

Highlight the three cells A1:A3, with A1 as the active cell, then in
the CF dialogue box select Formula Is rather than Cell Value Is, and enter this formula: =A1<=3000 Click the Format button, select Colour, and choose Red - this affects the foreground colour. Click OK, and then Add to set up your second condition - choose Formula Is and enter this formula: =A1<=7500 and format with a Green foreground colour. Ok again, then Add and set up your 3rd condition - Formula Is, with: =A1<=10000 then choose Tan for the foreground colour. This time click OK twice to exit the CF dialogue box. Excel will have adjusted the formulae to suit the other cells that were highlighed, so you should see the effects immediately. Hope this helps.
