Hi guys. Quick question,

is there anyway to change a cell background color based on another cell background being a particular color?

I have a row with conditioning format that changes the background color based on a specific text.
I would like to add a cell at the end of each row that would change, say, green if all other cells background on that row were green.

Is this possible?

Hi Queo,

To change the background colour according to another cells colour, a macro is needed.

BUT since you use conditional format to change the colour of the other cells, you can combine them using the AND function for the final cell.

Example:
A1: =A1=1 then green
B1: =B1=1 then green
C1: =AND(A1=1,B1=1) then green

Best regards,
Trowa
