See Conditional Formatting on the Format menu.

changing color of values bigger or smaller than target
I'm still having a problem with this one. If I apply the settings in conditional formatting, I don't see any results what so ever. The cell still does not change color. What am I doing wrong? -- Fedde ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fedde's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30900 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=522530 |

highlight the cell you want to change colour Formatconditional formatting Select Cell Value, select Greater than or equal to, click in next box and then click on the target value. Select format and then choose the conditions you want to apply if the condition is met e.g. font colour, background pattern. Select OK If you want more than one conditional format, go back to conditional formatting, select Add and then repeat hope this helps Ed -- EdMac ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EdMac's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30736 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=522530 |

Ed, thank you very much for your reply! Unfortunately, this is exactly what I did, and still no change of color. Very strange... -- Fedde ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fedde's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30900 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=522530 |

Allright, now the color changes, but it also keeps the color when the value is changed. For example: target : 150 If the result is below this value, it turns red. But it stays red even when the result is above this value, even though I've set the settings at smaller than...? how can this be? -- Fedde ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fedde's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30900 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=522530 |

Hi Fedde, Does this happen in all the cells or only ones that you have copied the formatting to? If it is in the cells that you have copied it to, make sure that the condition is not referring back to the original cell - you may have got an absolute reference (with $ signs in it). If this is the case get rid of the $ signs in the original and then copy down again. otherwise it should work.
