I have an excel file that displays data about jobs and customers. One tab contains a list of bids and their dates of expected completion. This tab has conditional formatting applied that turns the job name font red if a certain cell contains an "X" (meaning "bid but not yet approved/denied"). Another tab pulls data from that list and turns it into a calendar for visual reference. It uses textjoin to create a list of jobs in a cell based on a date of expected completion.
ex:
{=TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,IF('2020 Background Data'!$H$2:$H$301=DATE('2020 Calendar View'!$E$1,'2020 Calendar View'!$B3,'2020 Calendar View'!Z$2),'2020 Background Data'!$I$2:$I$301,""))}
That is working fine to list them. However, I have not yet been able to find a way to bring the color along with it when I join it into the comma separated list. I want the text to carry its color along with it so it turns red on the calendar as a quick indicator that we need to call that customer back. Anyone have thoughts?

I've pasted into an excel file lots of number such as 43:11 or 22:06. These represent goals scored and goals against. However excel is recognising them as dates and times. I want it so that I have two columns with 43 and then 11 for example, instead of 43:11. Whatever I have tried it has become confused because it things of it as a time. I've tried formatting as text, numbers etc. Any ideas?
This will work in Excel 2016 (other versions have the same functionality but the menus may be slightly different):
Copy your numbers to the clipboard
In Excel, select the Home ribbon
Click the downward arrow under the Paste button (the leftmost icon on the ribbon).
Select Use Text Import Wizard
Wizard appears. Make sure Delimited is checked and My data has headers is not checked.
Click Next.
In the Delimiters group, uncheck Space, check Other and in the box next to it type :
Click Finish
If you are typing values into a cell, then format the cell as Text before typing. If you are importing material from an external source, then tell the Import Wizard that the field containing these values is Text.
I think the image attached describes better than I can in words the functionality I am trying to locate within excel.
Is there a way to auto group based on the contents within the columns as shown? This is achievable for the example shown, but when there are up to say 30 Groups and many sub group types, I am wondering whether excel can auto-detect and work its way through the list, grouping as shown as it goes.
You can get a similar result using conditional formatting. select the whole table and create a new conditional format rule and choose formula and enter =A1=A2 set the format font to white (I've used very light grey to show that the data is still there)
To get the borders, do the same again and this time enter the formula =A1<>A2 and make the top border black.
It's not exactly the same as yours but it's close.
I am creating a work planner using Excel. The user selects a specific name from a drop down menu and it displays the projects. I want a table/gridline to be displayed. I would like it to add a gridline which automatically shows/hides when a name is selected but the height should be dependent on the rows of data. So if there are a 5 projects the table should be 5 columns long.
I have implemented a formula using Conditional Formatting (=NOT(ISBLANK(D6))), but the table still shows if I select the default option which shows no names.
Bit tricky without knowing what's in D6! - but presume it's your dropdown... in which case don't you want this an absolute reference $D$6?
One other thing to try is having multiple rules, so setup conditional formatting so that ISBLANK(D6) then no borders (make sure it's the first rule and to tick 'stop if true' to stop it running through to your NOT(ISBLANK) rule)
So right now I have this calendar set-up:

And I have a formula like:
=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("Yes",'HI Project Database'!D2)), ('HI Project Database'!$B2&" - "&'HI Project Database'!$A2), "")
In the cells to pull data based on certain conditions from a separate spreadsheet.
Now I want to also display certain values if you hover the cells, specifically display text pulled from the "HI Project Database" sheet from cells AB:AG with commas and spaces in between.
What's the best way to go about doing this?
I can usually find an answer to the problems I'm having via a quick google search, but this one I'm struggling to even form the question in order to locate an answer.
I'm trying to find out whether it is possible to use Excel Tooltips to display cell data. For example, on mouse over: a tooltip appears displaying the cell values from selected cells, preferably with some plain text but not essential.
i.e. I have an overview table which simplifies data from another table but want said cell values to appear on mouse over.
