Hi everyone,
Please could any one help me to formulate this function.
If the value in Cell X is smaller than 25 then Cell Y will be in green
colour; and
if the value in Cell X is bigger than 25 smaller than 50 then Cell Y
will be in orange colour; and if the value in Cell X is bigger than 50
smaller than 75 then Cell Y will be in red colour; and if the value in
Cell X is bigger than 75 then Cell Y shall be in black colour. Many
Thanks for anyone who be able to help.
Best Regards.

Here's one way to try out via conditional formatting (CF) fromulas

(This assumes col B will be filled with a default "green" color as the "4th"
condition, as CF allows only a maximum of 3* conditions)

Select col B, and format it with green fill color

With col B still selected,

Click Format Conditional Formatting

Make the settings:

Condition1
Formula Is| =AND(A1=25,A1<50)
Click Format button Patterns tab Orange OK

Condition2
Formula Is| =AND(A1=50,A1<75)
Click Format button Patterns tab Red OK

Condition3
Formula Is| =AND(ISNUMBER(A1), A1=75)
Click Format button Patterns tab Black OK

Click OK at the main dialog

(Note that I've revised your criteria a little tighter to close gaps
in-between)

Test it out by inputting various values within several cells in col A to
trigger the various colors in the corresponding cells in col B

*Do check out JE's page for up to 6 colors w/o macros:

Note that the default fill color (green) will take care of your 1st
criteria, i.e. values in col A less than 25. This assumes, of course that
col A will always contain numbers, and/or that empty cells or cells with
text are "considered" equivalent to zero.

Just in case you're having difficulty deciphering the distortions to the
suggested CF formulas from where you're reading the responses, try this link
