Re: Conditional Formatting 3 Colour options

Purds 

 

Having created 3 new rules for each scenario is good.

 

To copy the rules to the other cells:

 

-Change absolute references to non-absolute.

- Define the range of application of these rules.

 

 

As you can see, I removed the "$" sign in the original formula and I then selected the range of application in the "Applies to" option.

    Hi Martin_Angosto

     

    Unfortunately that didnt work as you can see from the screenshot below. There does not seem to be any logic to how the rules apply.  Row 11 is correct when compared to Row 8, i.e B11>B8 so is green. However, the rules are not working for Row 12, for example Cell E12 needs to show Green as is is > Cell E8

     

    Interestingly I cant delete the $ from the applies to range B11:S22, not sure if this makes any difference.

      Hi,

       

      Try to fix the row refence of that cell you are comparing the results with. I assume its B8. Write it as B$8.

       

      You should leave the "Applies to" range as absolute as well, so don't worry about that.
