Formatting xl cells
 
Does anyone know if xl cells can be programmed to perform "what" or "what
if", "goto", "if", "then" etc

Hi,

You can almost certainly do that in Excel, probably with a formula (but the
goto bit maybe a problem) and if not with a macro. Why not post what you are
trying to achieve and I'm sure someone will help.

You cannot "format" cells to do anything.

You would need formulas in those cells to return results based upon your
criteria.

In B1 enter

=IF(A1="qwerty", "A1 is qwerty","A1 is not qwerty")

Which is an if, then,else formula.

Speaking of formulas, they can return results only to the cells in which
they are written.

i.e. a formula can "pull" but it cannot "push"
