Here is my sample data set -

I need a formula to tell me if the numbers in the COUNT column are MORE THAN 2000 above OR below the average column. If its less than 200 above or below AVG than its OK - just need to flag the ones that are outside of that range. Suggestions???

Do a conditional formatting

 

[Philosophaie]

for k=1 to 7
2000 + 200 < Count(k) < AVG(k) - 200

Cell(k,1).Select
With Selection.Interior
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.Color = 65535
.TintAndShade = 0
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With
next k

LXQ - How would I write the condition for the formatting??

Philos - That looks like VBA which I dont know how to do. I was looking to just write a formula in the cell or do conditional formatting.

Hi, Chrissy.

try this formula on conditional formatting:

=ABS(A1-B1)>2000

and format as you wish

not sure if you want to compare with 2000 or with 200, cause you wrote both
