Conditional Formatting
Looking for a solution to a conditional format problem. I need to change the color of a cell based on the input, with 8 different options matching 8 different colors. Conditional format only has three parameters, so I can't use this option. Thought about using a nested if, but do not know the designator to change cell color. -- WarrinerBen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WarrinerBen's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=37737 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=573232 |

Conditional Formatting
IF functions can't change the color of a cell based on the value of the cell.
You'll have to write some VBA code to do what you want. See this to get started: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/colors.htm -- Brevity is the soul of wit.
