Conditional Formatting – Excel 2007

SbElectric — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 07:19:35 +0000

Greetings. I was on hiatus from this excellent forum for some time. Got involved in too many other tasks & was unable to free myself to devote time to this forum. Now, I am seeking help on how to extend Conditional Formatting rule. The scenario is this: I have a worksheet with about 200 rows. In each row Column B thru H contain 7 numeric values. I need to flag the cell with Minimum value (change Font & color). So on Row 3, I have set up Conditional Formatting such that if the cell value is =Min($B$3:$H$3) then change Font to Bold, Italic and color Green. I have set up similarly for Row 4,5, 6. This is working fine. But I had to set up manually for each row. Is there way that I can now extend this “Conditional Formatting” to all 200 rows? I am thinking of the way that we normally use (say for extending Sum by column) by clicking on the lower right cell border and continuing to row 200. I tried – it is copying the numeric value; not copying the Formatting rule. Hope you got an idea what I am aiming for. Otherwise, I need to go Starbuck to manually type =Min($B$xx:$H$xx) for all 200 rows with a Tall order of Latte! Any help will be much appreciated.

Can you suggest a good way to do this which also takes care of low values like – 75,750.50

Conditional Formatting – Excel 2003

Lhunter — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 20:20:17 +0000

Hello, I would like to know how to setup a conditional format for the following example.

Ex. Column 1: Company
Column 2: Begin Date
Column 3: End Date
Column 4: Exceed Date if >3 (Calculates Column 2 & 3
in Days)

Conditional Format for Column 4: if days exceeded 3 and “eguals the company in column 1″ then the cell would be shaded RED.

Thank you for your help!

Using Excel 2003: Adding days to a cell that contains both a text and numeric entry.

Bpbp — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 19:37:02 +0000

Can a formula be written that allows days to be added to a cell that contains both text and numeric information? For example, Cell A1 has NAME 1/3/09. I want to add 30 day increments to the 1/3/09 date in adjacent cells. Can it be done? If so. how? Thanks.
