in Excel 2002 it states that you can use up to 3 different conditions for a
conditional format, but it will only use the first format that is applied
when the condition is true. Am I reading this wrong? What good are the second
and third conditions if it will only use the first format? Assuming I don't
get it, I would like to apply 2 different formats in the same cell, depending
upon the entries in 2 different cells. Cell A1 = 10, Cell B1 = 15,
conditional format is if C1 is greater than A1 apply yellow, if C1 is greater
than B1, apply bold in addition to yellow. Can this be done without VB code?

Thanks, smart people!

you could use "THE FORMULA IS" on the conditional format with a formula like

=AND((C1A1),(C1<B1)) FORMAT AS YELLOW

hope it helps

Set 1st condition as "Value is" $B$1 and colour yellow, font bold
set 2nd condition as "Value is" $A$1 and colour yellow

Assuming the 10 and 15 are constants. Since B1 is greater than A1 then
if C1 is greater than B1, C1 will always be greater than A1 so in the
first condition, select the Formula is option and enter this:

=C1B1

Format for Bold and Yellow

Second condition:

=C1A1

Format for yellow only.
