Hello,

I would like to format cells based on the value in another cell.

Eg, column A has names of staff. column B gives the score from an assessment.

I would like the name (column A) to change to red if the score in column B is 1. I'd like the name to change to orange if the score in column B is 2, etc etc.

I just know it can be done AND, I just know that one of you clever people can help me!

many thanks
Debbie Uniforms.

Hi its me again:rolleyes:

I don't really follow!

[TABLE="width: 218"]
<colgroup><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]Name[/TD]
[TD]JobTitle[/TD]
[TD]Average score[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Bob[/TD]
[TD]agent[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]6[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]susan[/TD]
[TD]supervisor[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]4[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Fred[/TD]
[TD]manager[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]2[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Abdulla[/TD]
[TD]agent[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]5[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Raj[/TD]
[TD]agent[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]3[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I would like the names of those who score 6 to be green, 5 light green, 4 orange, 3 yellow, 2 light red and 1 red.

I think this is in conditional formatting but not sure which rules to add etc.

I have been able to do it, when I add a number next to staff name - eg: Bob 1, but I want the average score in a separate column.

many thanks and sorry for being thick!

edit:
each time add new rule for different color
rule what you should add is grey highlighted

I have been able to do it, when I add a number next to staff name - eg: Bob 1, but I want the average score in a separate column.

select whole range
then do the same for column where your numbers are

if your numbers are in Z column then select range A1:Zn and use rule =Z1=1 and so on
