Question… What if you wanted to highlight the John instead of 4 in this example. Essentially I want to know how to highlight the cell in column A based on properties of the corresponding cell in column D

Thanks for the simple straight forward tutorial. I haven’t touched excel since office 2000, so this made what I knew it could do very easy. I used this for a simple inventory tracker of hundreds of items, when they fall below a certain quantity, I know what I need to order more of at a glance. Thanks!

Agree with fattypugh, worked like a charm the first time. Used this to highlight cells for a weight study where we wanted to see the values that were below a certain set and VOILA!!! Thanks for your time and effort!

How do I fill a cell with a progress bar based on the percentage within the cell? I know I can go to conditional formatting and chose “data bars” but that doesnt work exactly as I would like. It creates progress bars for a group of cells…so if one value changes in one cell all the other bars may change. I don’t want the cells linked together. I need each cell to be its own stand alone value. If I type 50% into the cell I want the cell to show as 50% filled while no other cell’s bars change. If I type 75%, I need 75% of the cell filled while no otehr cell’s bar’s change. Currently the “data bars” gauges the cells from highest percentage to lowest percentage and when one cell value increases, some or all other bars will move. THis is not what I’m needing. I know I can make a regular chart but I’m trying to present something other than a chart. ANyone have an idea about this?

No. checkbox Value Item Quantity
1 (ticked) TRUE Gameboy 1

Hi..i as you can see the above. I would like to know how to edit the entire Row 1…example change the fonts size to 20, when the value is true or the checkbox is checked…

So like when the checkbox is unchecked the size remains. when i check it the entire row becomes font 20.

Thanks – Prasad
