Changing Colors of Cells
Is this possible?
I would like to change the color or formating of multiple cells based on another cells value and or the value in a drop down list. Conditional formating does not seem to be able to do this. Thanks! |

Hi
as an example: - range of cells is B1:C20 - drop-down to check is in A1 - color B1:C20 if cell A1 contains the value 20 Try the following: - select B1:C20 - goto the conditional format dialog - enter the following formula: =$A$1=20 - choose your format -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany A-man wrote: Is this possible?

In the Conditional Formatting dialog box, choose 'Formula Is' from the
first dropdown list. Then, enter a formula that refers to the cells you want to check.
