Colour Formatting

Ok I need help on excel... I have an area BM46 to BM59 on worksheet 2 which i would like to change colour ( red,amber or green) dependant on the value of H43 on the same worksheet. So basically when the number is equal to 100% I want to colour it green and if it is between 90% and 99% then I want to colour it amber and if it is below 90% i want to colour it red. Well I can do this but when it is formulated the writing that is in H43 is开发者_运维问答 displayed but I want to put different text in the cells and only have the colour change... I am sure it is simple to do but i am not sure how.

Any help would be awesome.

You can apply value-dependent formatting by selecting the cells you want and then going to

Format > Conditional formatting...

and setting the rules there.

Further to Aqua's response...

1. Use conditional formatting
2. You will need to set up multiple rules using "Use a formula to determine which cells to format".
3. Set each rule with a formula to correspond with the appropriate formatting. If the default color was red, you only need 2 rules. Conditional Formatting formulas need to evaluate to a True/False value. Your formulas should look like "=IF($H$43>.99,true)" for the green, "=IF($H$43>=.9,true)" for amber.
4. Use "Conditional Formatting Rules Manager" (Alt + H + L + R shortcut) to make sure the rules are in the correct order. Set the green rule to be first and make sure to check "Stop If True".

Your conditionally-formatted cells can have any text you want, it's only the accompanying rule formulas that need to reference H43.

Hope that helps...
