I am using format cells to add text to cells.
My problem is when the cell value is negative. The negative location change to be in front of the text.
How do you move the negative sign in Excel next to the number (blue line in the picture above)?
Thank you for your help,
Try conditional custom formatting.
[<0]"tt" -0.000 "ksi";"tt" 0.000 "ksi"

I need to do formatting with flag in my table based on the next conditions:
Format in Green when I'm above the average otherwize paint in Red.
But if I'm above the average but have negative value, still format with red flag.
see my example
In the example I added we can see that in the CANDY column everything Ok.
In the SNACKS columns everything also OK, but in the DRINKS column OZI & MEIR are in green color although they are both have small values than the average.
How can I do this?
* I need to use symbols (or flags) and not fill all the cell with the color!
You can edit conditional formatting just make first "conditional format" by "icon set" of each row then go "manage rules" and "edit rules" and change as photo.
It's will not works here, the average is -6.8 and we have value of -3. I need to paint this cell with RED (Because it's negative) but actually it's get GREEN flag.

I have an issue with Excel 2013. The conditional formatting just will not work. I've got a VLOOKUP which pulls data from another worksheet. Then I want to use conditional formatting on that data. The conditions are =$N$3>30 to color the cell red and =$N$3<30 to color the cell green. It just stays permanently red or permanently green. I've tried every solution and possible work around I can think of and nothing works.
Does any one have any suggestions?

Value in your N3 (or in column N), is a text thus color is red. Add double dash (--) to your VLookup function to convert the result to number. Your formula should be =IFERROR(--VLOOKUP(A3,... (complete the formula).
Cell P10 has 120 but that's because row 10 is rounded to whole numbers. The actual value entered are 10.1 which is why that row sums to 121. I am trying to highlight P10 if it doesn't match the sum of the non rounded numbers. What am I doing wrong?
The formula is:
=SUM($D$14:$O$48)<>!$P$10
There is a duplicate = sign and lose the quotes. Excel builds those automatically when you first enter something in conditional formatting. Some weird "feature" to try outsmart the user. Also, if this rule goes down by rows, you may not want to have the Rows with $$
try =sum($D$14:$O$48)<>$P10
I have come here seeking the help of the smarter programers. I am attempting to create a date controlled document for work. In short, I created formulas for contact dates. All linked to the Today() function for my computer date. Anyone contacted < 30 days appears green, >30 but <45 days its yellow and >45 days its red. I also included some other functions like x= black (remove from list) and OL = onlist so appear blue. I used to conditional formatting options. I will show my formulas as they run from B6 to B144 (=$B$6:$B$144) in the spreadsheet and their order.
Cell value= X
This is the black format.
Cell value= OL
This is the blue format.
Formula=AND(B6 <=TODAY()-30, B6 >TODAY()-45)
This is the yellow format.
Formula=B6<=Today()-45
This is the red format
Formula=B6 > Today()-30
This is the green format.
The problem is I am trying to get cells without a date to show as blank and not red. For some reason the blank cells appear red. I have tried to use the
Formula=ISBLANK(B6) to format as no fill cell. The cell is not empty but contains the above formulas. Surely there is a code to make cells without texts but with formulas appear blank. Excel shows as clear but when I upload to Google documents, the empty cells appear red. Any help is appreciated.
You can probably use
=""
as your condition for a 'blank' cell that contains a formula. Alternatively you could change your condition for red to be
AND(B6<=TODAY()-45, B6>0)
That might help
You need to click "Stop If True" for the rule for blank cells, then move that rule to the top of the list.
I have a column (I) that is a sum of total hours worked for a month. I'm trying to apply a conditional formatting rule that will highlight cells that equal 0 but aren't blank.
The formula I'm using is:
AND(I2=0,NOT(ISBLANK(I2)))
It highlights most of the 0 values (but not all of them) and it is also highlighting some non-zero values.
I don't know if will help, but this is a sample of what I'm getting:
I had a simmilar problem a few months ago. Mark Fitzgerald pointed out the right direction to me. Times in Excel are all percentages of days. Computers calculate in binary so all those decimals have to be converted to binary before the math operation and the result has to be converted back to decimal.
But decimal places are limited to 15 in Ms Excel. You can check the whole answer here.
I think your issue is the Applies to range (though I am surprised that the Total label is not then coloured blue). It seems to me the formatting is correct but offset by one row. For simplicity, I suggest selecting the entire Total column and applying:
=AND(I1=0,NOT(ISBLANK(I1)))
Or select the range to format starting in the first cell below Total (ie Row2) and apply your formula.
Taking the 'simpler' approach, if you don't want the label formatted you might give it a rule of its own, with No Format Set chosen and make sure it has priority (eg at the top of the list with Stop If True checked).
#Dimitrios has a point (but it seems also a solution) if the values are being calculated.
=AND(I2=0,NOT(ISBLANK(I2)))
Enter the conditional formatting as a formula into the first cell. Click 'Ok'. Then copy the first cell and paste special as "formatting" to the remaining cells.
This will work as you desire.
