Conditional Formatting
Hi,
Objective : --------------- If Cell-A (A1) value is less than Cell B (B1) Value then paint (background) CellB with RED else paint with GREEN. If Cell B does not have Data then keep background color as white. Solution I am trying : ------------------------------ Goto Cell B(B1) select Format--Conditional Formatting -- Condition1: CellValueIs Greater than $A1 then Format RED (selecting this color from the paelete) Condition2: CellValueIs less than $A1 then Format GREEN (selecting this color from the paelete) Problems: ---------------- 1.This does not seem to be working. 2.Auto update of Background color does not happen if the values are changed (implying the values are such changed that the conditions are reversed) Thanks |

Conditional Formatting
Select cell B1, then Format | Conditional Formatting and in the panel
you need to select Formula Is rather than Cell Contents Is. Set up as follows: First Condition: Formula Is : =AND(B1<"",B1A1) Background colour: RED Second Condition: Formula Is: =AND(B1<"",B1<A1) Backgound colour: GREEN Then OK your way out. Note if A1=B1 there will be no change to the format. If you want to apply this to other cells use the Format Painter. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure what you mean. The colours should change immediately if
there is a change in the conditions.
