Need to fill a colour into the cells individually, if condition gets OK. Each cell with reference of different cell.
Means
if value of C1 is not between A1 & B1, C1 fills with red,
likewise,
if value of C2 is not between A2 & B2, C2 fills with red
if value of C3 is not between A3 & B3, C3 fills with red..
In Excel, the Conditional Formatting can do this
Select the range of cells, and click Home > Conditional Formatting > New Rule.
Then in the New Formatting Rule dialog, select Use a formula to determine which cells to format in the Select a Rule Type list, and type this formula =OR(C1<A1,C1>B1) into the Format values where this formula is true textbox, and click Format button to enable the Format Cells dialog, under Fill tab, and select one color you want to use for highlighting. See screen-print
Click OK > OK. Then the cells which are not in the number range have been highlighted

I am New to Excel.
I need to change the color of D1 cell to color of the F3 cell.
If I change the color of F3 cell the changes should also be seen in D1 cell.
Excel Reference
On my $A:$A, I currently have a dropdown list of "Yes" and "No".
For Example:
A1 = Yes then Fill B1 with black
A7 = No then Fill B7 with Green
If Yes then Black
If No then Green
I know that formula below can be used in a specific cell only. How can we add a conditional formatting in an entire column B based on the the value of the cell in Column A?
=$A$1 <> "Yes" -> B1 Conditional formatting
You pretty much have it.
Select column B
Add a conditional formatting rule
Select "Use a formula to determine which cell to format"
Enter:
=A1 <> "Yes"
Note that it does not include the "$" before the "1". Omitting the "$" makes the reference relative, so it'll fill down much like a formula in the spreadsheet itself.
I just want to know how to autofill all cell if I select value from 1 cell using drop down box. Suppose in 1st cell of the row I will select "Yes", then all the 5 adjacent cell of that row will also show "Yes". ther is data validation activated in all cell, but i dont need to select it each time.
If the dropdown is in A1 then just make B1 be:
=A1
so it shows whatever is in cell A1
I have 11 numbers in cell range c3 to l3
ending c5003 to l5003
also have numbers in cell range starting af3 to aj3
ending af44 to aj44
I'm trying to get the numbers in cell rangec3 to m5003
to change font color to white when those numbers match numbers
in cell range af3 to ak44
I also need the numbers in cell range m3 to m5003
to change to white when they match the numbers in cell range ak3 to ak5003
I can send the spreadsheet with instructions on what I'm trying to do.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
Highlight the cells or column you want to apply conditional formatting to.
Select Conditional Formatting > New Rule
Select "Format only cells that contain"
Select "Cell Value" in First drop-down and "equal to" in second drop-down
Select the cell selection button to select the range you want to compare the cells or column to.
Select the format button to set the desired format.
Select Ok.

I have created a simple excel formula to know what is the color of the font of the cell A1
Function GetFontColorIndex(elrango As Range) As Integer
Application.Volatile
GetFontColorIndex = elrango.Cells(1, 1).Font.ColorIndex
End Function
In excel-2010:
File > Options > Formulas > Workbook Calculation > Automatic is checked
In cell A1 I have a number, and in cell A3 I have
=GetFontColorIndex(A1)
but when I change the font of cell A1, the formula does not update automatically on cell A3. I have to click shift+F9 and then it works.
Any idea why is not showing the number of the font automatically?
As simoco has mentioned.
If you are using your 'udf' in Sheet1 then in the module associated with that sheet add the following:
If you just change the colour the formula does not update but as soon as you press enter or select another cell in the sheet it updates
