Conditional formatting rules using a formula AND an icon set
Hi Olly,
You may work with formulas and the icons set, the only issue formulas here work only with absolute references. As workaround you may use OFFSET, INDIRECT or INDEX to have the proper references. For such sample
first formula is
=INDIRECT("A"&ROW())*1.2second one is similar.
Another trick, you can't apply such rule to entire range at once. Thus first apply to B1 (for our sample) and that move formatting by Format Painter on other cells.
- Sergei thank you, your suggestion worked a treat
SergeiBaklan Hmmm...whilst it works, you end up with a CF rule for each cell.
It does not help when scrolling though the CF list the contect of 'Applies to' just disappears(not really). Close and open the 'Rules Manger' brings them back. This makes it very hard to adjust the rules on the specific cells.
Florisz Yeah that's not very handy at all, is it?
That how it works. I don't know another solution, sorry.
- I agree - it's just not very scalable.
