Require small help on "Conditional Formatting"
Hello Community,
Have prepared an excel sheet where I keep track of ongoing projects. To make it little more interactive I made three conditional formatting rules which are as below:-
Formula Format Applies to
1) $M$4="In Progress" "Fill Color = Yellow" $B$4:$N$4
2) $M$4="Completed" "Fill Color = Green" $B$4:$N$4
3) $M$4="Cancelled" "Fill Color = Red" $B$4:$N$4
Now the hurdle which I am facing is the above mentioned 3 set of rules should get applied to next 500 rows. And with every new row "Formula" should get updated to $M$5, $M$6,... and so on. Secondly, "Applies to" should also get updated accordingly to $B$5:$N$5, $B$6:$N$6,... respectively.
Manually setting up these 3 sets of Conditional Formatting rules for 500 rows individually is very tedious work.
Thanks for support,
Hi Ramu2603
You should format your data as a Table this will allow formulas to auto-adjust as you add new rows:
Then, with the above Table set the following Cond. Format formulas (no $ after $M😞
