Fill Color If Statement
Hi -
In a workbook I track project financials. IE: Forecast, Actuals, Variance etc. Cell A2= Forecast Cell A3= Actuals Cell A4 = Variance I would love for cell A4 (variance) to auto-fill a color if it is greater or less than a certain $ amount of or percentage of cell A2. For example - if Forecast = 100,000, and the Actuals are 50,000, the variance = 50,000 - the variance cell should be filled with a color to call out that the # is greater than or less than 50% or $50,000 of the forecast. The dollar amount and % are just examples - I would just like to use one or the other. Thanks so much for your help. |

Fill Color If Statement
Please dig into conditional formatting, since this is definitely what you
need here. -- Wigi http://www.wimgielis.be = Excel/VBA, soccer and music "Elgee" wrote: Hi - In a workbook I track project financials.

Fill Color If Statement
Hi -
Thanks for your help - I was making it harder than necessary. What I really needed was 'if the value of the cell is 5000 then fill...'. Which I know I can do with Conditional Formatting. Thanks Mike and Wigi!
