I'm seriously stuck on this one.
The column "N" is times my drivers are supposed to be at their cars.
The column is highlighted yellow, showing me how many more runs my drivers have for the day.
In N3 I want to put a number (for example 4) that's how many trucks I have ready to be sent out.
How would I be able to use the number in "N3" and it will take the yellow highlights and make them green letting me know that my shipments are safe until a certain time?
Keep in mind that I have a top section and a bottom section, but I need them both to work together.
Thanks

This will not work as the "10" is not a constant and will change depending on the # of trucks I have ready to go
Then see the conditional format formula in the post 7 based on cell A2 value

Excel Facts

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
Then see the conditional format formula in the post 7 based on cell A2 value
I'm trying to put that into my sheet, only problem is that I have 4 ranges to pick data from
d4:d26, d32:d69, n4:n26, n32:n69
when I combine those into your suggestion, it didnt work
***follow the sheet in post 5****

AFAIK you can't use a formula with non-contiguous ranges in conditional formatting (you can use the built in function and edit the value)

Is there a way to make a condition based on the color of the cell? Then we can come up with a formula to change the lowest "X" amount of "yellow" cells in a range to "Green"

Not tonight as it is the early hours of the morning here and I am at work tomorrow.

You will also need all your cells in yellow done by VBA as the conditional formatting you have takes priority over any fill colour we put in via VBA.

It is much easier just to do the clicks (or ALT + H, L, R to get you part way there) and change the number in the formatting rules

Sorry, Let me explain it better.
$D$1 =MOD(NOW(),1)
What I want to do is have a number in Cell "A2". That number would be how many trucks are ready to hit the road, (ie 10)
I want a way to take the "10" lowest numbers that are Highlighted in yellow (they have a conditional format already to make them yellow) and make them green

How can I combine my already used conditional format with a "SMALL" format to highlight the smaller cells in a different color
