Conditional Formatting Help Please!
Hi Rich
Thanks for this but maybe I should have been a bit clearer. The upper and lower ranges differ on each row, it might be 200-300 but the next row will be 825-1000, the next row 525-675 etc. I then have a value in another cell and I need to format that cell green if it is closer to the upper range and yellow if it is closer to the lower range
Hope that makes sense
That could be the rule formula for the green as
=A1>=(MAX($A1:$K1)+MIN($A1:$K1))/2
and similar for another color
Thanks Sergei but it doesn't seem to be quite what I need (unless I am doing something wrong). If you see the below, column A is what I need formatting - red if it is higher than column D, green if it is equal to or less than column C - this is sorted. What I am struggling with is if column A is closer to column C than to column D, but not exactly between, I want it to colour green but if it is closer to, or exactly between, column D than column C, then I want it to colour yellow. So below A2 should colour green as it is closer to column C and A6 should colour yellow as it is exactly between column C & D. Hopefully some visuals make it easier to understand!
Oh, it was hard to make such guess.
For the green the formula could be
=$A2<($C2+$D2)/2
since below C it's also green, and for yellow
=($A2>=($C2+$D2)/2)*($A2<=$D2)
Thank you so much Sergei, perfect!!
