Please select ColumnC and HOME > Styles - Conditional Formatting, New Rule..., Use a formula to determine which cells to format and Format values where this formula is true::
=AND(SEARCH("*POPA*",C1)>0,E1="E")
Format..., select grey fill and red font, OK, OK.
This is case insensitive.

Excel - Cells to change color based on previous cell value

I am trying to create a formula in Excel whereby a cell would change color based on the value in the previous cell.
for example if cell B2 contains value X and then B3 contains value Y, I would like B3 to turn green if B3> B2 else to turn red.
'Standard' fill red the relevant range and select Column B, clear any existing CF rules and HOME > Styles - Conditional Formatting, New Rule..., Use a formula to determine which cells to format and Format values where this formula is true::
=AND(B1>B1048576,ROW()<>1)
Format..., select green fill, OK, OK.
I am assuming your column is labelled.

Conditional formatting in Excel 2016 based on the sum of other cells

I am trying to create conditional formatting in a single cell (red for negative and green for positive) based on the sum of three other cells.
I.e. Trying to fill cell K3 in green but ONLY if the value in K3 is greater than the sum of D3:D5. And fill in red if the value of the cell is less than the sum of D3:D5.
Thanks
Select K3, clear it of any existing CF attempt and HOME > Styles - Conditional Formatting, New Rule..., Use a formula to determine which cells to format and Format values where this formula is true::
=K3>SUM(D3:D5)
Format..., select green formatting, OK, OK.
Then add another rule:
=K3<SUM(D3:D5)
for red formatting.
This leaves K3 with no CF applicable where K3 equals the sum of D3:D5. If you can accept that condition is either red or green, at your choice, a CF rule could be saved by applying 'standard' formatting for the 'other' condition.
Alternatively, something like this:

Limit based Conditional Formatting in Excel

I am looking for a solution in excel with formula for conditional formatting.
If in Column A value is 0.550 ± 0.030 and then I enter a value in next Column B. If entered value is within that limit then it should highlight in one white color and if out off limit it should highlight in red color.
Assuming one column is A, select B:B and HOME > Styles - Conditional Formatting, New Rule..., Use a formula to determine which cells to format and Format values where this formula is true::
=OR(B1>LEFT(A1,FIND(" ±",A1))+MID(A1,FIND("±",A1)+2,25),B1<LEFT(A1,FIND(" ±",A1))-MID(A1,FIND("±",A1)+2,25))
Format..., select red fill, OK, OK.

Conditional Formatting based on percentage increase

Please select ColumnE and HOME > Styles - Conditional Formatting, New Rule..., Use a formula to determine which cells to format and Format values where this formula is true::
=AND(E1<>"",E1>=1.1*D1)

Match other columns for Column Fill and Text Color to an other column

I was wondering if there was a way to match up Columns A and B, in this example with Column C, regarding color formatting. I used Conditional Formatting for Column C.
Is there any type of formula I could set up to match the color scheme of Column A and B to match that of Column C, without doing it manually?
Without knowing the example you are working with, the first thing that comes to mind is apply the same conditional formatting to to A and B that you do C.
So when C:C >= 3 then C:C is red
then apply the same to A and B
When C:C >= 3 then A:A is red
When C:C >= 3 then B:B is red
You could also use a VB macro to copy the formatting but that would be a lot more work doesn't sound like it's needed.
An example that converts a text rule (one that formats only the cells containing a specific string) into a formula rule that may apply to cells other than the trigger ones.
Select ColumnsA:C and:
HOME > Styles - Conditional Formatting, New Rule..., Use a formula to determine which cells to format and Format values where this formula is true::
=$C1="Active"
Format..., select formatting, OK, OK.
