How do I format a cell based on conditions in five different cells
I want the change the color in a cell that sums five different cells, but the
color (five different colors) will be based on the conditions in each of the five cells. I have tried conditional formatting/new rule/using formulas to create format. However, I can't seem to get an if statement to work in the formula? |

How do I format a cell based on conditions in five different cells
Suppose you want to format A1 based on B1 (and/or C1) then use a formula like
=B1=15 or =B110 or =AND (B110,B1<21) or =AND (B110,C120) You get the idea. Upto Excel 2003 you can have at most three set of conditions... You can have 3 conditions plus one when none of those three are true. You can have three more based on cell formatting but those have limitations.
