Conditional Formatting

Conditional Formatting

Conditional Formatting

(OP)
MS Excel is limited to 3 or 4 conditions for it's conditional format function.  I have tried a free down load add on which is supposed to extend the number of possible conditions but it failed to work correctly.  Does any one know of a download that works or a simple way of increasing the number of conditions up to 8-10.  I want to change the shading of cells dependent upon the value in that cell.

 

RE: Conditional Formatting

The simplest way is to upgrade to Excel 2008.  Of course, that opens up an entirely different can o' worms.

RE: Conditional Formatting

You can either use VBA, or use a helper cell and base conditional formatting on the value in the helper.
