Conditional Formatting

[J2Reed]

Been messing around with codes and just can't figure this out.
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]
[TD]C[/TD]
[TD]D[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]Player 1[/TD]
[TD]11[/TD]
[TD]22[/TD]
[TD]33[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]2[/TD]
[TD]Player 2[/TD]
[TD]44[/TD]
[TD]55[/TD]
[TD]66[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]3[/TD]
[TD]Player 3[/TD]
[TD]77[/TD]
[TD]88[/TD]
[TD]99[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

If Player 1 is not blank; and Player 2 and 3 is blank. I need 11 to be formatted.

If Player 1, and 2 is not blank; and player 3 is blank. I need 11 to not be formatted, but I need 22 and 55 to be formatted.

If Player 1, 2, and 3 is not blank, I need 11, 22 and 55 to not be formatted, but I need 33, 66 and 99 to be formatted.

I have a longer list of players, I just made a smaller table. Been messing around for a awhile, can't figure it out. I am assuming I need and codes or multiple conditions.

Welcome to the Board!

Why do you mean by "is blank"? Where are we looking to determine if there is a value or not?

I have a longer list of players, I just made a smaller table. Been messing around for a awhile, can't figure it out. I am assuming I need and codes or multiple conditions.

So, what exactly is the overriding "rule/pattern" for determining which values to be formatted?

Re: Conditonal Formatting

If I delete player 2 and player 3 and leave them as blanks. I want only B1 to be formatted to a different color. If I delete Player 3 and leave it blank. I want C1 and C2 to be formatted to a different color. When I type in formulas, B1 is still formatted. But Ive only used the formulas Not(Isblank and Isblank codes, Im still learning.
Im using -> use a formula to determine which cells to format

Re: Conditonal Formatting

I would select B1 --> condition format --> use a formula to determine which cells to format -> =ISBLANK(B2).

It will work, but when I start applying the formula to C1 and C2, with ISBLANK(B3). B1, C1 and C2 will be formatted if I leave A2 and A3 blank. Is there a formula that will format the cell if there is a range of missing players. example. cell will format ONLY if A2-A7 Is blank, if anything is in those cells, it will automatically un format

The green values are dependant on the number of players in the team

Re: Conditonal Formatting

I am still really confused.
Can you explain it, in relation to the images that you have posted?
What should be formatted in those images and why?

Re: Conditonal Formatting

In picture 1, the top chart shows there are 2 players on my team listed under Names. The values under the column 2/4 Team will be formatted green text. The chart below that shows there are 3 players on my team. The values under the column 3/4 Team will be formatted green text.

In picture 2, Both columns 2/4 Team and 3/4 Team are formatted when I only have 2 players on my team. I'm wondering what formula I would use to to format 2/4 Team, 3/4 Team, 4/4 Team and 5/5 Team to green text without having all of them turning green depending on the number of players I list under the names column
