After date conditional formatting.

I am using numbers. I have a cell B1 with a date, Cell B4 is a formula (B1-80) to calculate 6/20/14. I want to apply conditional formatting to say if 6/20/2014 is after todays date then make the cell red. I am using version 3.2. I can't figure it out even though it seems the obvious choice is Date>after>highlight B4 and done turns red since its 7/8. However its not working.

Hi Ken,
B1 Contains the formula =TODAY
Conditional highlighting of other cells in B if greater than $B$1 (using numbers, not dates)
Regards,
Ian.

Date Conditional Formating

I know this is a simple question but don't have a lot of time to research it.
I want to apply 3 different font color formats to a date field.
How do I manipulate the dates in the formulas so that i can get the following:
Over 9 Months old = Green
Over 12 Months old = Orange
Over 14 Months old = Red
BTW I am using Crystal Reports 2008
Thanks for all your help.

Place the date field in your report, right click and select 'Format Field' and in the pop up, choose the Font tab and then click on the x+2 across from 'Color'. In the formula workshop window type:
if datediff('m',{yourdatefield},currentdate) > 14 then crred
else
if datediff('m',{yourdatefield},currentdate) > 12 then crmaroon
else
if datediff('m',{yourdatefield},currentdate) > 9 then crgreen
else
crnocolor;
Save and close and in the report the date should be highlilghted based on the above condition. Note however, that there is no pre-defined color of Orange, you can either use the predefined ones or shoose the RGB codes.

Excel 2013 - conditional format with dates

Hi
I have a workbook that logs courses people have been on and I type in the date the qualification needs to be renewed. I would like that cell to change colour when it is so many days before the renewal date using the =today() function.
pale yellow - 60 days before renewal date
orange - 30 days before renewal date
red - expired, i.e. today's date is after the renewal date
I have an idea how to do it but I can't seem to get it working exactly the way I want it to.
Thanks.

Select the cell or cells. I will assume in the following that A2 is the active cell within the selection.
On the Home tab of the ribbon, click Conditional Formatting > New Rule...
Select 'Use a formula to determine which cells to format'.
Enter the formula
=AND(A2<>"",A2<TODAY()+60)
Click Format...
Activate the Fill tab.
Click More Colors...
Select pale yellow.
Click OK three times.
Repeat the above steps, but with the formula
=AND(A2<>"",A2<TODAY()+30)
and with orange.
Finally, repeat them again, but with the formula
=AND(A2<>"",A2<TODAY())
and with red.

Can you transfer data from one numbers spreadsheet to another using conditional formatting?

I have a tracker document set up for client payments and when I indicate payment received, it flags green using conditional formatting. However I would like these to automatically transfer to another sheet - without having to cut and paste the associated data to the other sheet. Can I set up conditional formatting to do this? If not how could I get and automatic transfer?
thanks forum.

Hi Kangers,
There are a number of ways to transfer data from one table to the next. It should not be hard to set up.
Conditional formatting would not be involved it moving the data but you could set it up to flag the data in the new table.
Without knowing what your tables and data look like it is hard to propose a solution.

Conditional format with large data fails and show error as "Selection is too large" in Excel 2007

I am facing a issue in paste special operation using conditional formats for large data in Excel 2007
I have uploaded a file at below given location.
http://sdrv.ms/1fYC9qE
The file contains two sheets, Sheet "Data" contains the data on which formats are to be applied and sheet "FormatTables" contains the format tables which contains conditional formating.
There are two table in "FormatTables" sheet. Both have some conditional formats applied on it.
Case 1:
1. Select the table range of Table1 i.e $A$2:$AV$2
2. Copy it
3. Goto Sheet "Data"
4. Select data area i.e $A$1:$AV$20664
5. Perform a paste special operation on full range and select "Formats" option while performing paste special.
Result:
It throws error as "Selection is too large"
Case 2:
1. Select the table range of Table2 i.e $A$5:$AV$5
2. Copy it
3. Goto Sheet "Data"
4. Select data area i.e $A$1:$AV$20664
5. Perform a paste special operation on full range and select "Formats" option while performing paste special.
Result:
Formats get applied successfully.
Both are the same format tables with same no of column and applied to same data range($A$1:$AV$20664) where one of the case works and another fails.
The only diffrence is Table1 has appliesTo range($A$2:$T$2) as partial of total table range($A$2:$AV$2) whereas the Table2 has appliesTo range($A$5:$AV$5) same as of its total table range($A$5:$AV$5)
NOTE : This issue is only in Excel 2007

Excel 2007 No Supporting formating to take a formatting form another if source table has more then 16000 rows and if you want to do that in more then it then you have ot inset 1 more row in your format table to have 3 rows
like: A1:AV3
then try to copy that formating and apply
Solution Case 1:
1.Select the table range of Table1 i.e AV21 and drage it down to one row down
2. Select the table range of Table1 i.e $A$2:$AV$3
3. Copy it
4. Goto Sheet "Data"
5. Select data area i.e $A$1:$AV$20664
6. Perform a paste special operation on full range and select "Formats" option while performing paste special

After Exchange 2010 SP3 and rollup 4 update conditional formatting causes messages not to appear in Outlook 2010

Hi,
after updating to exchange 2010 sp 3 from sp 2 and also updating to rollup 4, users who use conditional formatting cannot see new message unless they close and reopen Outlook.
If you decide to change the font colour for unread messages, the messages do not appear in Outlook but a pop up indicates that a new message has arrived.
If you reopen Outlook, the unread messasge appears.
remove the conditional formatting and no issue with viewing unread messages as they arrive.
running Outook version 14.0.7106.5003
is this a known issue? a user who never used conditional formatting will experience this right away.
Thanks,
rudif

Hi rudif,
If the issue only happens to users who use conditional formatting and OWA can work well for all mailbox, I think the issue should be in client side.
Please try to reset View then set the conditional formatting back to have a try. If the issue continues, please try to recreate the Outlook profile to check whether the issue persists. Also try restarting Outlook in Safe mode by running
Outlook /safe switch.
Thanks,

Conditional Format Icon Sets not Displaying after SharePoint Update

We have a SharePoint 2013 site, and after we applied the update below, the conditional formatting for our primary dashboard no longer appears in Excel Services. We have three different versions of the file and all have been
affected. I have tried removing all of the conditional formatting, and re-applying it, but it does not work.
If the files are opened in Excel, they look perfect. A blank, new file with the same conditional formatting rules work fine.
Any thoughts on how to correct the issue??
SharePoint 2013 CU October.

Thanks, Barbara

Hi Barbara,
According to your description, my understanding is that the icon sets cannot be displayed in Excel files after installing SharePoint 2013 October CU.
The link to download the SharePoint 2013 October CU is not correct, it is October CU for SharePoint 2010.
I recommend to check the build number of your database to see if the right October CU for SharePoint 2013 is installed.
Here is the link of October CU for SharePoint 2013:

Conditional Formatting in one cell with a dates in another cell

I have a simple spreadsheet that will gauge a project's progress. I wish to have individual cells change color based on another cell. I can't get the right syntax in order - groan
E2 has today's date, =NOW()
G2 (not started) would change from a color to no color when the start date, F27, has arrived then
H2 (started) would change to a color when the date is met, F27, (may be change color as the completed date arrives) then no color when the completed date arrives, F28.
I2 (completed) would change to a color when the date is met, F28
When the spread sheet is opened or if I need to change the dates in either of the cells the cells with color gauges will update.
I am using conditional formating through the ribbon.
Please help!

Conditional formating if the cell contains any date

Hi,
In my excel sheet i have one column containing only date (US format) or else they are blank. I want to format the cells containing date to Red color. How do i do it
Please help

If you mean the font colour, just format the cells to have red font.
So I guess you mean interior colour.
You haven't said which version of Excel - it always helps.
For Excel 2003, for example, select the cells then
Format > Conditional Formatting > Cell Value Is > Greater Than: 0 > Format > Patterns > Red
For Excel 2007 or 2010, Home > Conditional Formatting > Highlight Cells Rules > Greater Than > 0 with Light red fill

Conditionally Formatting Dates

I'm working on a calendar. I have my generator working. Now I want to conditionally format days of the month, ie. colour the cell if the day falls within a defined range or equals a particular date like today. My main problem is the number series I've generated are just numbers, whereas my format condition is a date. Unlike Excel I'm unable to nest conditions of different formats in the one statement. I've tried an intermediate step by 'stripping out' the day data using the day function then acting on that which works so long as my date range does not extend longer than a month. If it does my result is erroneous.
Can someone give some ideas how I might achieve my intended result.
Thanks

Hi Yvan, thanks for your response. I thought I might be able to post an picture of my screen, but it appears I'm not able to do so. Ok, so I'll try and best describe what I'm trying to do.
My calendar is project-focused. I have two cells, a start date and an end date (these cells are formatted as dates). The start date is used to generate the calendar: its month, the previous month and the following 2 months. The end date can be any date you like. To produce each month in the calendar, the generator carries out a few tests in the first week and the last week of each month to find the day the first of the month falls on and the day the last of the month occurs. Once the first and the last days have been determined cells for the second, third fourth day etc merely increment the previous day by one until the last of the month is reached. The cells containing the numbers corresponding to the days in each month are just numbers - the sum of the previous day number plus 1. All this works fine.
Having generated the calendar, I want to highlight the date range between the start date and the end date using conditional formatting. I have this working in Excel with a conditional formating rule builds a date then tests to see if it is within the range of the start and end date; (=AND(DATE(YEAR,MONTH,DAY CELL [being formatted])>=(START DATE),DATE(YEAR,MONTH,DAY CELL [being formatted])<=END DATE).
Of course, Numbers does not have this complexity when it comes to conditional formatting, so I'm wondering if there is another way of doing it.
Thanks

Find missing data using conditional formatting?

Hello,
I'm familiar with Excel but new to Numbers.
Can I use conditional formatting to find the blank cells in a table?
If so, how?
If not, what would be the best way to find blank cells in a large table?
Thanks

Jerry's suggestion in that thread was:
Designate a blank cell to be your comparison for the conditional format and set a fill color to be present whenever your data cells are "Equal To" the content of the blank cell that you have designated. Then when you enter data, the fill color will revert to what it was for the rest of the table.
The problem with that method was that zero values and blank cells both triggered the conditional formatting. Badunit chimed in with:
Use "text is" instead of "equal to".
Which solved that problem.
Here's an example, using the conditional formatting rule incorporating the revised suggestion:
The conditional format rule shown is applied to all of the cells in column B.

Conditional format based on date

Hi,
I want to keep track of reports that my students need to turn in. The due date is set, but should turn red 10 days before the actual due date, so I can double check with the student if he started work on his report. Once the report was turned in, the due date should become grey or black. Here's an example:
Report
Topic
Due date
Finished
A
XX
Jan 26, 2012
Jan 25, 2012
B
YY
Feb 5, 2012
C
ZZ
Mrz 11, 2012
C3 is read, because its due date is less than 10 days away. C2 is black, because it has been finished on time. C4 is black, because its due date is more than 10 days away (from the perspective of today, Jan. 27th)
While conditional formats can be set based on dates and relative dates, it doesen't allow to compare actual date to a date calculated from a cell, as far as I can see.
Any help with this is very appreciated!
Thank you!

Can we preserve Conditional Formatting in excel even after export ?

Hi,
I have requirement where I need to preserve the formulae and conditional formatting when exported in excel format.
The user is supposed to be changing the values and so the final result values and cell formats should change as well.
I tried the workaround to preserve the formulae as directed in other threads but would like to know if we also have a workaround to preserve the conditional formatting of the cells.
I know OfficeWriter can help me to get this requirement done but still I wonder if we have any workaround for this requirement.
Thanks.

Hi Rikz,
According to your description, you want to preserve the formula and conditional formatting when export report to excel format.
According to my knowledge, In earlier versions of Reporting Services, there was limited support for translating expressions in RDL to Microsoft Excel formulas. Since SSRS 2008, when you export a report to Excel, RDL expressions are not translated to Excel
formulas, which is documented at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143380(v=SQL.100).aspx by Microsoft. When we export a report to excel, only the final data is exported. If some user want to preserve specify cells’ conditional formatting, we can use IIF function as a workaround
as below:
IIf(Globals!RenderFormat.Name Like "EXCEL*", Excel Formula, RDL Formula)
For more information about export formulas to Excel, please refer to the following feedback:
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/488517/ssrs-2008-export-formulas-to-excel
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Conditional Formatting between dates usng a different cell

I need to make it so a cell will change color if the column header is between 2 dates.
Cell D7 = 05/20/2014
Cell E7 = 06/20/2014
Cells F6 - AS6 = 05/19/2014 - 06/27/2014 (column headers)
Cells F7 - AE7= Random Numbers between 5-100 (for now)
So if the date in Cell F6 is inbetween D7 and E7 I want the number in cell F7 to change colors. Is this possible without VB?
Thanks Again!!

Hi,
According to your description, I try to make a sample, is this you want?
If it was, please see the steps:
Click Home tab>Conditional Formatting >New Rule>Use a formula to determine which cells to format > Add the formula "=AND(F$6>=$D$7,F$6<=$E$7)"
If I misunderstand something, please upload a sample Excel file through One Drive, I'll try again.

Conditional formatting in the chart does not work after 10g to 11g upgrade

W e have upgraded from 10g to 11.1.1.6.8 recently. For all the reports conditional formatting for charts is not working for us which used to work in 10g.
While researching , i have found that advanced xml needs to be modified. So i changed xml where there is 'untypedLiteral' to 'decimal' and saved the report. Inspite of saving , xml wouldnt change . It still shows as untypedLiteral.
I also tried to delete the conditional format and recreate again. But still it wouldn't work.
Please advise.
