Excel Color formatting via formula
Hello,
I was given a spreadsheet that had been damaged was was recovered. The only issue the user has is the sheet contains formulas to color cells that no long work.
This formula works: =COUNTIF(AM$79:AM$79,"1 RED")
This does not: =IF(AN75>0,"",IF(AL75<$B$1
Since one does and one doesnt, any thoughts?

This is a large spreadsheet from another dept and I am hoping to get out of it quickly. Long story short, it worked before.
The first one is using "1 Red" as a criteria so that doesn't affect the color of the cell. I would take a look for pre-existing conditional formatting rules. That may be where your issue lies.
Without seeing the spreadsheet itself I can't see exactly what the formulas are stuck on.

Ok. I found it with your statement that it was still using conditional formatting. I assumed 1 Red was Excel VBA for the color red. Stupid me.
Do you know offhand if it is possible to import the conditional formatting statements from one spreadsheet to another?

I find it to be more stable than trying to change the colors in the cells formula.
