Conditional format a column based on value in a different column
How can I conditionally format (highlight) some cells in column E based on
the values in column C of the same row? I have no trouble highlighting a column based on it's values, but I need to highlight the cells in a column based on the values in a different column but the same row. Example: If C1 is negative, highlight E1 in red. If C2 is positive, highlight E2 in green. If C6 = "B", highlight E6 in yellow, etc. I'm having trouble having the value/formula in conditional formatting refer to a different cell, but cannot specify a specific cell for all rows, if that makes sense. Thanks. |

E1 mentioned in the formula is the active cell in the selection. Active cell will have a white background even after selection 2. From menu FormatConditional Formatting 3.
