There's no need for the IF, TRUE or FALSE:-

I am trying to use a formula that checks to see if there is a date in cells E9, F9, or G9, and if so, I want it to display the word "Open" without the parenthesis, in cell J9. Otherwise, if there is nothing in any of those 3 cells, I want J9 to display nothing at all.
The other half of the formula needs to check the same cells, and if there is a date in all 3, I want J9 to display "Done", without the parenthesis. So far, I have:
=IF(ISBLANK(E9:G9),"",IF(OR(ISBLANK(F9), ISBLANK(G9)),"Open","Done"))
This works, BUT, it also outputs the word "Done" in cells K9 and L9. I don't need these. How can I output ONLY to J9?
Here's a visual:
enter image description here
There must be the same / similar formula in cells K9 and L9. Just delete them.
I found a way!!
=IF(COUNT(E9:G9)=0,"",IF(OR(ISBLANK(E9), ISBLANK(F9), ISBLANK(G9)),"Open","Done"))
Can anyone else provide an easier way?
I'v attached a screenshot to show what I'd like to ask for. Since I am obviously having issues to word it properly.
I got this sheet to track project hours. It's a template also for future projects. So I built it with a dynamic start month and year.
In order to avoid the tedious formatting work in future I've set up several conditional formattings.
I now please need an idea how to change the color alternating, based on the color of the previous month. In the screenshot you see June and July have different cell colors, which I obv did manually; thats what I'd like to solve dynamically
I can distinguish where the start and the stop of one month is by filling each cell of the headline with the value based on the date. I though I could simply hide it then when formatting the textcolor same with the bg color. Still same problem: how do I check which color to use?!
I think I totally lost track - anyone help please? :)
Thanks & BR

With real dates in Row2 (formatted mmm if you wish), fill as much of Row2 as relevant with one 'standard' fill colour, select Row2, clear any CF from it and then HOME > Styles - Conditional Formatting, New Rule..., Use a formula to determine which cells to format and Format values where this formula is true::
=ISEVEN(MONTH(A2))
Format..., select a different Fill, OK, OK.
I have been trying to change the color of certain cells on my WS that fall outside of an acceptable range. The statement I've been trying to use is,
IF(OR('cell'>1.3,'cell'<2.5),'turn red','do nothing')
In english, "If a cell is less than 1.3 or greater than 2.5 turn red, else do nothing." I cannot find a resource that guides me to how I can get the cells to change colors. I also have been unsuccessful in creating a statement in the Conditional Formatting tab that satisfies my goal. I feel this should be simple, but for some reason cannot figure it out. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so how to do it?
EDIT: Also, I have different ranges based on another cell on the spreadsheet. I need this also taken into consideration
Select the columns that you want to format
Click Conditional format --> new rule
Select "Use a formula to determine which cells to format"
In the formula bar enter the formula =AND(A1>1.3,A1<2.5)
Choose the fill color as red and press OK
am confused with your formula and your english version. If its the other way, then use the formula =OR(A1<1.3,A1>2.5)
Excel:
In D23 I have a drop down list with the options of Red, Amber, Green, Complete, Cancelled, On Hold. In E23 I enter a date of when the project will go Green if it is in any of the other states.
I would like E23 to be empty if D23 is Green. Otherwise E23 should be able to have a date typed in i.e 10/02/2016... any ideas how to do this?
Using Excel conditional formatting you can get this job done..

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.
