Hello!

I have a a big dataset where I've used the conditional formating to color values that are grouped as:
The values are in percentage of the total in that specific dataset, so all values are somewhere between 0 and 1.
Above 20% : green traffic light
19,9% to 5% : yellow traffic light
and below 5% : red trafic light
This works fine, but...

The thing is that i have multiple columns, where only one of the columns have data on each row (value between 0-1). If the column has a number, then i want to use an if statement to see if it is green: then it should be "A", if it is yellow it should be "B" and if red, it should be "C".

Something like:

If value in range C2:Z2 is >0 then:
Check if
color of icon is green, then print "A" or color of icon is yellow, then print "B" or color of icon is green, then print "C"

Is this possible to do in excel? :)

Thanks in advance!

Just to clarify: select the cell that has that has a value and returnera a, b or c - depending on the color.
