I have a set of data range from A to G for instance, at column G, I would like to format the cell as following
if the value of G2 is between C2 and D2, then the background color is green.
if the value of G3 is between C3 and D3, then the background color is green.
and so on for the next 500 rows
How may I do it in the latest google spreadsheet please?
Many thanks
In G2 select Conditional Formatting select custom formula and enter
=and(G2>C2,G2<D2).
Then select Apply to range and enter G2:G. It will work for all column G .
Since format the cell I assume only to apply to ColumnG. Please try selecting ColumnG and Format, Conditional formatting..., change G1: in start of Apply to range to G2: and for Format cells if... select Custom formula is and insert there:
=or(and(G2<C2;G2>D2);and(G2>C2;G2<D2))
select green fill and Done.
Change ; to , if required for your locale setting.
With text labels in Row1 it is usually simpler to select the entire column and write such a formula for Row1.

[inventory sheet] (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kLDo8Up_RJa2rXsEZ9ElKBEhGUTsMw61-fQspOPuBz4/edit#gid=0)
I'm trying to conditionally format column E based on column D. For example, if the value in column D is <8, highlight the adjacent cell in column E green. If value is >7 and <15, highlight yellow. If value is >14, highlight red.
The formula I have now works, but I can't figure how to apply the formatting to the entire column without manually inputting 3+ conditional format rules on each individual cell.
The existing conditional format from your sheet is partially correct, it just needs some tweaking on the Apply to range value. You can create 3 conditional formats on E3 and it will apply to the whole column of E if you put the E3:E on range.
Please see the 3 conditional formats I have created based from your given sheet.
Conditional format 1:
Conditional format 2:
Conditional format 3:
Output:
Reference:
AND function
Just select the whole range and create one single rule per condition. Use the formula as it is created for the first cell and it will "drag" automatically.
For example with =D2>15
I am using google sheets. For column E, under the header “Received” I have formatted it so that when you type in "no" the color of that cell turns red. But when you type in “yes" then the color of the cell will change to green.
How do I get column F (column to the right of Column E, under the header “Total”) to automatically display the number "20" AND also the make it’s cell
turn to green whenever the cell next to it, in column E says "yes"? And if I type in “no” in Column E id like the cell next to it in Column F to say “0” and the background color change to red.
Please help!
I asked ChatGPT it said to use the formula =IF(E2=“yes”,”20”, “”) however this didn’t work. It only changed column F background color to green but it didn’t change the cell to say “20”
These are two separate things. One is the formula inside the cell that determines the value of 20 or 0
=IF(E2="","",IF(E2=“yes”,20,0))
Or you can set it as an array formula in F2 to expand to lower rows. Put this in F2:
=ArrayFormula(IF(E2:E="","",IF(E2:E=“yes”,20,0)))
Other thing is the conditional formatting rules that set the colours. Select F2 column and choose conditional formatting. Look for custom formula and you can use:
=E2="yes"
=E2="no"
For green and red respectively. Try these things and let me know
I was able to to get it right using the formula =IF(E2="yes", "20.00", "0.00").
That did the trick, and to change the colors I did conditional format and set it to Text contains: 20and changed the color to green. I added another rule except this time I put Text contains: 0.00 and changed the color to green.
I have two spreadsheets (S1 and S2). I want to apply conditional formatting to column D from S1 such that:
if text from cell D1, D2,... from S1 is present in column A from S2, a cell is colored green
if text from cell D1, D2,... from S1 is not present in column A from S2, a cell is colored red
Could not get my mind around it, could you please help? I assume I must use a formula, but not sure how...
Select S1!D:D and (i) apply 'standard' red fill, (ii) Format > Conditional formatting..., Format cells if... Custom formula is and:
=match(D1,indirect("S2!A:A"),)
with green highlighting and Done.
you may wanna check this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54910481/5632629
and to reference another sheet in conditional formatting you will need to use INDIRECT() - https://webapps.stackexchange.com/a/126045/186471
I'm trying to get a cell to highlight with a certain color if the text of two other cells match. Has anyone else done this?
Example:
If the value in the cell A2 is "Car" and the value "Car" is in a range on another sheet, can the cell B2 be filled with a color?
Assuming a range on another sheet is ColumnC of Sheet2, then select B2, apply the Conditional Formatting custom formula:
=match(A2,indirect("Sheet2!C:C"),0)
and certain colour fill.
This can be achieved using conditional formatting.
Select the cell (B2 in your example) and in the menu bar go to Format > Conditional Formatting...
Here you want to use a custom formula. Specifically for your example, the formula to input would be:
=AND(A2="Car",COUNTIF(C2:C5,"Car")>0)
Note that the range that is being checked for "Car" is C2:C5, since you didn't specify any for your example.
EDIT:
Following the discussion in the comments:
=COUNTIF(Sheet2!$C:$C,A2)>0
What this does, is that it looks for the value in A2 in column C in Sheet2 and if it occurs once or more, the cell that you have applied this conditional formatting to, will be coloured.
I need to format A1 when
B1 is empty and A1 is lower than today
A1 is a date, like a deadline that I will print red if the deadline is not reached. B1 is the cell used to say it was done.
Go to conditional formatting and use the custom formula =and(A1<today(),B1="")
You can set the background color red there too.
EDIT: to extend the formatting down the column but not beyond where you have date, you can do apply to range A:A and amend the formula to =and(isDate(A1),A1<today(),B1="")
