Conditional Formatting Row by Row

KayleeBG 

To apply conditional formatting with a 3-Color Scale to multiple rows individually, you can set up a single rule that will work for the entire sheet or tab without creating thousands of different rules. You can use a formula-based approach to conditionally format the rows. Here's how you can do it:

1. Select the range of data that you want to apply conditional formatting to.
2. Go to the "Home" tab in Excel.
3. Click on "Conditional Formatting" in the Ribbon.
4. Choose "New Rule" from the drop-down menu.
5. In the "New Formatting Rule" dialog box, select "Use a formula to determine which cells to format."
6. In the "Format values where this formula is true" field, enter a formula that evaluates each row individually. The formula should reference the first cell in the selected range for each row.

For example, if you want to apply a 3-Color Scale based on values in column A, you can use a formula like this:

=$A1<>"" (This formula checks if cell A in the same row is not empty.)

Ensure that the formula returns TRUE when the formatting should be applied and FALSE when it shouldn't.

7. Click on the "Format" button to set up the formatting you want for each condition (e.g., choose the color for each scale level).

8. After setting up the formatting, click "OK" to close the "Format Cells" dialog box.

9. Click "OK" again in the "New Formatting Rule" dialog box to apply the rule.

Now, this single rule should apply the 3-Color Scale to each row individually based on the values in column A (or any other column you choose).

Repeat this process for each tab or sheet you have in your workbook. You don't need to create thousands of different rules manually; this method uses a single formula-based rule for the entire sheet. The text was created with the help of AI.
