Conditional Formatting

[JTL9161]

I think I already know the answer to this but I figured I would ask.

I have a table. 5 columns, 25 rows. (A1:E25) there is particular alpha data in the table

I have a matching table below it with numbers that will vary (A30:E55) depending on the number say in cell A30
(>10) for example) I want to fill the corresponding cell in the above table (A1) with a color if the cell A30 is >10 than no fill. I accomplished this using the Conditional Formatting for that 1 cell.

Question. Do I need to do a Conditional Formatting for each of the 125 cells in the upper table? Is there a way to duplicate the same formula but have it correspond to the correct cell from the below table?

A30 = A1
A31 = A2
B33 = B3...
...E25 = E55

I am thinking I will need to add the formatting to each cell but like I said, just checking.


Thank you,
James

Select the whole table, add the conditional format for the first cell in your selection and it will adjust for the other cells so will map A30 to A1, B31 to B2 etc. etc.

You can select multiple cells say A1:E25 and then write your CF formula for the top left cell (A1). Excel will treat the formula the same as if it was copied to the other cells so you may need to lock cell references.
