Cell text and background colour dependant on result
To simplify my problem, I will narrow down the results.
The result of a calculation is shown as a percentage. Is it possible to format the cell to display the result in different colours dependant on it's value? Example: Below 50% - White background, green text 50% and over - Yellow background and red text. |
