Inventory tracker

Copper Contributor

I was wondering if anyone could help me come up with a formula for the following.

 

I have a spreadsheet that has each vehicle in my fleet. It has mileages, dates and part number.

 

Is it possible to have a part number turn red if on another sheet i have the inventory count to zero. But if the number stays 1 or more the part number would stay black.

 

example 

Sheet one: Part # 3626

Sheet two: Part # 3626 0

 

Thanks

Hi,
 
This is possible and can be done by using the Conditional Formatting.
 
Please follow the below steps:

  • Select the part numbers' range in Sheet1
  • Go to Home >> Styles >> Conditional Formatting >> New Rule >> Use a formula...
  • Put this formula in the formula box, but this is with assuming that the range in which the inventory count is from B2:B18 of the Sheet2 and the part numbers is from A2:A18.
=VLOOKUP($A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$B$18,2,0)=0
  • Click Format button to choose the format that you want, and then hit OKs.

 

Please find the attached file.

Hope that helps

thanks haytham!
