How do I set the background colour of a cell to Red if the value of any cell
in a range is greater than, say, 110?

Stefi

Use this formula:
=COUNTIF(A1:A10,""&110)0
Adjust range!

You and Jacob didn't observe that the condition is "ANY cell in a range"!

Hi Stefi,

I think the answer provided by Mr. Jacob and by myself is right. In my post
i have clearly mentioned that select the range before applying the
conditional formatting.

The question was "... set the background colour of a cell ... if the value
of any cell
in a range ...". For me it means to set the color of ONE cell depending on
the values of several cells. Yor solution sets the color of a range of cells
depending on the cells own values. The OP shared this interpretation!

Stefi

I think that you'll find that Stefi has done rather more "MS-Exl-Learning"
than you have. Your condition will turn the cell red only if the content of
THAT PARTICULAR CELL is greater than 110. The OP said that the requirement
was to turn the cell red if the value of ANY CELL IN THE RANGE is greater
than 110.

Sorry I misread the post..

Stefi/Mike

Just the below will do as conditional formatting returns true only if the
below formula returns more than 0.
=COUNTIF(A1:A10,"110")

Mr. Stefi & Mr. David thanks for both of you for indicating my mistake. In
fact I didnt notice the word IN A RANGE IS GREATER THAN. After seeing
both of your replies, I come to know that my post is not suitable for the
question.

Anyway thanks for guiding & suggesting me about my mistake
