How to make drop-down in B4 until B5 automatically change either to Milo or Coco based on value in C4 and C5.
When i put 0 in column C4 until C5, the drop down automatically changes to Milo.
And anything greater than 0 in column C4 and C5 changes the drop down to Coco.
enter image description here
Try using an ARRAYFORMULA together with IFS. You can see the documentation here and here respectively.
For example:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(C4:C5="","",IFS(C4:C5=0,"Milo",C4:C5>0,"Coco",C4:C5<0,"Less")))
This will first check if C4:C5 is blank. If they're blank, C4:C5 will stay blank. If not, it will check if the values C4:C5 are equal to zero. If yes, it will show Milo, otherwise, if C4:C5>0, it will show Coco.
If you post the formula you are trying to use, I may be able to adapt it.

I am trying to find a way to have a cell in column A turn yellow if any cell in the adjacent row is less than the value of its corresponding header. Please see my example sheet.
I'm trying to use this formula for my conditional formatting: =COUNTIF(B5:5,"<"&B$4)>=1 but I believe it's stuck on using Cell B4 as the header value for the entire range (instead of C4 for column C, D4 for column D, etc).
Any ideas on what I'm missing here?
For the red option, as you suggested, you should use:
=COUNTIF($B5:$H5,"")
But you may keep it that option above, so it is red even if there's an orange
Then, for yellow you can use:
=COUNTIF(BYCOL($B5:$H5,LAMBDA(each,each<OFFSET(each,4-ROW(each),0))),TRUE)
It checks in each column if the value is smaller than in row 4, and counts the amount of TRUE values
And green should be by default, I understand. Is it useful?
I am trying to create a hierarchical checklist that will automatically turn green as smaller tasks and their sub-tasks are checked off. Example Hierarchical Checklist
B1 Contains the Large Task
B2 is blank for easier viewing
B3 Contains the Small Task-1
B4 Contains Small Task-1's 1st Sub Task, C4 contains a checkbox
B5 Contains Small Task-1's 2nd Sub Task, C5 contains a checkbox
B6 is blank for easier viewing
B7 Contains the Small Task-2
B8 Contains Small Task-2's 1st Sub Task, C8 contains a checkbox
B9 Contains Small Task-2's 2nd Sub Task, C9 contains a checkbox
B10 is blank for easier viewing
B11 Contains the Small Task-3
B12 Contains Small Task-3's 1st Sub Task, C12 contains a checkbox
B13 Contains Small Task-3's 2nd Sub Task, C12 contains a checkbox
The Sub-Tasks are pretty simple. If the cell next to it is checked, turn both cells green.
The Smaller Tasks are also pretty simple. For my actual checklist, at most for each Smaller Task, I have 3 sub-tasks. I just used an and condition and specified the specific value to check. =AND($C4 <> FALSE, $C5 <> FALSE)
My problem is the larger task. I want to check to see if there are any remaining sub tasks yet to be completed. If not, then turn the entire Larger Task Green. The closest I could get to this is using =ARRAYFORMULA($C$4:$C$13 <> FALSE). This only checks the value of C4, not the entire contents of the range. I also added this same formula to E4 to get an idea of how Google Sheets is processing this formula.
I have tested without any white space in the C* cells, and that didn't change anything.
This cleaning checklist is a small example of my true checklist. I would prefer to not have to create an AND condition with 30 different values to check, but if that's the only way then I'll do it.
You want to check if the number of sub tasks COUNTA(B3:B) equals to the number of sub tasks that are completed COUNTIF(C3:C,TRUE).
=COUNTA(B3:B)=COUNTIF(C3:C,TRUE)
I'm trying to code a Google Sheet to check if a row has any data in it, and then use conditional formatting to color-code another cell in that row. How could I do this?
Screenshots are here. The idea is that the cells in column B will turn red if there is any data in the same row. So in this example, B2 would stay green, B3 would turn red (automatically, with no text input), and B4 and B5 would stay blank, because there is no data in that row.
This sheet is linked to a Google Form, so it needs to be able to update automatically.
(I'm a beginner to Google Sheets, so I'm not familiar with the necessary code at all.)
Edit: Here's a copy of my sheet.
try simple custom formula:
=A2<>""

I'm trying to apply conditional formatting for cells that are less than value of a previous cell in the same column. For example, if D5 < D4 apply formatting, if D6 < D5 apply formatting, etc down the column.
I created conditional formatting for D5 denoting D4 as =D4 to get it's value. This works, however, when I copy this formatting to the cell below, D6, it does two things:
It does not make a copy of the formatting but updates existing one adding a range (D4,D5).
It still references D4 to check the value against, while I need it to compare against D5.
I'm not sure why D5 is always referenced, since I'm not using absolute reference, but a relative one. I don't see a way to compare with previous cell in the same column other than creating a formatting for each cell. Any pointers?
Found a solution based on another post color red if cell above value is lower:
Select a range where formatting needs to be applied, e.g. D9:D20.
Right click, select Conditional Formatting.
Click "Add new rule"
In "format cells if" choose custom formula is.
Enter formula: =D9
Select desired formatting.
I am working on a stats tracker for a game using a Google spreadsheet and as you can see in the linked image below, D2 is subtracted from D3 to give F3 a value. The E and G columns have the same relation.
My issue is, while the formula is simple (i.e. in F3 type, =d3-d2 , to get a value), typing this formula 100 times altogether is a bit mundane.
Is there anyway that I can have this done automatically? I have more features I'd like to add, but I am holding off because of this issue.
Hopefully this link works, I don't have enough rep to post an image. http://imgur.com/cyh27np
You do not need to type the formula for each cell, you can just select the cell, copy it and paste it on the cell below. The cells referenced are relative to their position so they will change accordingly.
For example in your case, if you select and copy cell F3 and paste it on cell F4 you will see that the pasted formula will actually be =D4-D3
Just left-click in the bottom right-hand corner of the formula you want to copy (or even number sequence), and drag it down or across however many cells you like. The program will recognize the pattern and continue it accordingly.
