Conditional Formatting with 3 Criteria Options
I would like a Cell's Text to turn green if A1=B1, but turn red if A1B1,
and no formatting if B1 is blank. What is the best way to go about this? I have excel2007. |

With that cell active, use Home/Conditional Formatting, use new Rule, use
Use a formula to determine which cells to format and enter this formula: =AND(A1B1,B1"") then click format/fill/red then do another New Rule and use =AND(A1=B1,B1"") then click format/fill/green.

Conditional Formatting with 3 Criteria Options
These two work fine, however my A1 cell turns Red when B1 is blank which I
was hoping to have no formatting for. Is there another equation that is needed. Thank you for the help.

It shouldn't go red if B1 is blank. Perhaps it is not blank. Perhaps
contains one or more spaces? What does =LEN(B1) show? -- David Biddulph "Nickle" wrote in message ...

=LEN(B1) Shows 1
I do have a cell reference to another spreadsheet. So the outcome on B1 is dependent on what is selected from a cell on the Master sheet. "David Biddulph" wrote: It shouldn't go red if B1 is blank.

So if LEN(B1) is 1,it is not blank, so it will satisfy the B1"" test, and
the red result is what you'd expect. What is your formula in B1? Are you sure that you haven't asked it to produce a space =" " rather than an empty string ="" ? =CODE(B1) will be 32 if you've got a space in there. -- David Biddulph "Nickle" wrote in message ... =LEN(B1) Shows 1 I do have a cell reference to another spreadsheet.
