I need to count the number of color font occurance in a column?
In 'my column' you can see that I have used bullets and coloured them differently.
For now, I am sorting the cells by font colors and calculate the number of each color occurence manually, however, the range is very vast and I'd like to do it by using some formula.
Could you help me?
only with default formula looking at font color is not possible per kpark.
without using VBA, it's impossible per Sean Cheshire.

I have a very big excel table where some cells are red. I like to use special filter for blending out all the columns where there are not red cells present.
I know how to use filtering by color for a separate column, but the problem is that I have around 100 columns, and to set the same filter for each column takes too much time. So I am looking how to simplify this task.
Thanks for any advices!
I've got a bit of an oddball question, and I looked pretty hard to find an answer to no success so apologies in advance if this has already been answered.
Anyways, I have an excel spreadsheet that has every column manually set to a specific color. Now I want to alternate the hues between rows while maintaining the manually-set color. So for example, let's say column A is red and column B is blue. I would want A1 to be dark-red, B1 to be dark-blue. A2 would be light-red, B2 would be light-blue. And so on and so forth alternating until the end of the sheet.
I've thought about sampling the previous cells color and setting the next cells color based on that, but I don't know of any functions that would get me there.
I've looked at macros, and while I can sample a cell's color I cannot figure out how to set it.
I'm currently building the sheet in excel and would like to import it to google sheets when I am complete, so having the spreadsheet formulas or macros be compatible would be great. That being said, I can keep it in excel if I have to so that isn't a must.
Any help would be much appreciated!
you need to set up 4 conditional formatting rules with:
=ISODD(ROW())
=ISEVEN(ROW())
Also, I would suggest you to check this addon with which you can control colors easily just by hex code (#ffda56) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/team-color
TeamColor is a Google Spreadsheet add-on for color management. Type a color code in Hex into a cell. Its background color will change to that color code. This is very useful for sharing color palette with teammates in developing apps, websites and anything else colorful.
You can do it with conditional formatting by selecting the column and then use a custom formula conditional format and enter =isodd(row()) then select your dark hue. Add another conditonal format and enter =iseven(row()) and select your lighter colour.
This method breaksdown when using a filter but you can create a column to count visible rows and then base your conditional formatting formula on that column. Bit more complicated but useful if you need to filter.
Another Sheets option is to apply Alternating colours... (under Format) but this would mean setting the two (or three if including a header of a different hue) colours separately for each column.
I want to assign Color Values to Lines based on certain value comparisons. Attached pic for reference.
Excel Color Coding Explanation.
The example I have provided is where I have set the color coding manually. The coding on the spreadsheet is not exactly correct.
The Colors should depend on the Explanation I have provided.
Please let me know which formulas to apply in which cell and how so the Color Coding applies automatically.
Thanks in advance!!
It seems to be working on rows but not all. Ive highlighted the parts with the desired color to illustrate.
Try this in conditional formatting. Each should apply to the whole array of cells. Ensure that the first row of the row matches the row number used in the formulas. The key here is the row number lineup and the $ to lock the reference to the column but for the whole row.
You also need to highlight the whole array to which you want it to apply before putting in the formulas. If you change it after you put in the formulas the cell references may change and you will need to paste them in again.
==OR($M4<>"",$M4<>0) with green fill
=AND($I4<0,OR($M3="",$M3=0)) with red fill
=AND($I4<$L4,$M4="") with orange fill
=AND($L4>$L4,OR($M4=0,$M4="")) with no fill (you do need to go in and select no fill
Could anyone advise how to format the fill of cell based on percentile ranges? So for example, I have a row of values. I'd like to format the fill on those cells such that I have cell fill colour for three conditions: above the 90th, between 10th and 90th and below the 10th percentile. If I try to create a conditional formatting rule with a 3-color scale, I am not sure how to format the 10th to 90th percentile range.
So basically what I am asking is how to format a row of cells thresholding on a range.
Thanks in advance!
Using Excel 2013, might be slightly different path for older versions.
Highlight the cell range you want.
Home -> Conditional Formatting -> New Rule
Under New Rule, there should be 6 options, choose option Format only top or bottom ranked values. Choose Top, 10 (or whatever number you want), and click the box for % of the selected range.
Hit Format and go to Fill, and choose a background color.
Do the same thing, but now choose Bottom instead of Top.
This will highlight the top x% and bottom y%. Also, if you're open, you should also try Icon Sets and you can use Green/Yellow/Red circles or arrows to help.
I'd ideally like to do this without VBA but if that's the only option that makes sense I guess I'll go with that :)
I have a set of cells that require formatting and then another set of cells that define my style, ie background color, font color. Is it possible to have Excel set the background color or a cell font based on instructions in a cell. If I can get even just the background color that would be great.
Cell
1
2
3
Instructions
Background Color FFFFF
Font Color FFFFF
FYI I'm using Excel 2010 on Windows 7. Some background : I have tables that are styled so headers and certain rows take specific colours but for the next report iteration I'd like different colours assigned but want to automate that formatting.
Id suggest trying to use Conditional Formatting tools. They are pretty flexible
