Multiple conditions for conditional formatting
Can I have more than 3 conditions for multiple formatting? If so, can anyone
tell me how? I have 4 potential text phrases to choose from a drop-down list and would like each to be coloured appropriately Many thanks. P. |
Multiple conditions for conditional formatting
P.,
if it is only 4 then you can use the cell's standard format for one of the phrases and conditional formatting for the remaining three. If this does not help then you will need VBA. A Worksheet_Change macro, which will automatically apply the format if the cell changes. For a full code write back if the suggestion does not suit you, with the formatting changes you want in each of the 4 cases. HTH Kostis Vezerides |

Hi Marcelo,
Thanks for this. However, I cant work out how to make it work using text phrases instead of a list of numbers. Any ideas? P.

Hi Kostis,
Thanks for your reply. I'm not much use with macros so would be happy for your help. I'd like to have the following four conditions: 1. If the cell says "Dev, on" then the background should be e.g. green 2. If the cell says "Dev, off" then the background should be e.g. blue 3. If the cell says "Imp, on" then the background should be e.g. yellow 4. If the cell says "Imp, off" then the background should be e.g. red. Many thanks for any help. P.
