I am trying to write a query in google sheets that will affect conditional formatting. Below is my example dataset
A B C D E F G H I J
1 Signficance 1 0.5 -0.9 0.8 0.7 0.6 0.95 0.94 0.8
2 Number of Events 13 13 13 13 13 13 10 8 13
3 Lift 9 4 12 9 5 4 10 12 10
I want to fill in the following colors in the lift row with these rules:
If Signficance >= 0.9, then highlight corresponding Lift cell with Green
If Signficance >= 0.8 and Signficance < 0.9, then highlight corresponding Lift cell with Blue
If Signficance <= -0.9, then highlight corresponding Lift cell with Red
Any other significance, highlight corresponding Lift cell with Gray
The desired result will highlight the following cells as:
B3 = Green
C3 = Gray
D3 = Red
E3 = Blue
F3 = Gray
G3 = Gray
H3 = Green
I3 = Green
J3 = Blue
Here is my attempt which is time consuming for every cell:
CodePudding user response:
4 rules:
Apply to Range for each: B3:3
Rule 1, Custom:
=B1<=-0.9
Red
Rule 2,Custom:
=B1>=0.9
Green
Rule 3,Custom:
=B1>=0.8
Blue
Rule 4, "Cell is not Empty"
Grey
It's important that the rules are in that order. As the order in which the rules are listed creates priority among the rules and allows you to keep them simpler.
CodePudding user response:
Select the entire Row 3 by clicking on the 3
to the outside left of the grid.
Then you will apply four custom CF rules (i.e., each rule will have "Custom formula is..." selected under Format rules / Format cells if...
). There are other ways to set up these rules, but I'm choosing this method for ease of explanation and process.
Apply the following CF rules in order:
1st / green rule
Enter the following formula in the field below "Custom formula is...":
=AND(ISNUMBER(A3),A1>=0.9)
Select a green background color and click "Done."
2nd / blue rule
Enter the following formula in the field below "Custom formula is...":
=AND(ISNUMBER(A3),A1>=0.8)
Select a blue background color and click "Done."
3rd / red rule
Enter the following formula in the field below "Custom formula is...":
=AND(ISNUMBER(A1),A1<=-0.9)
Select a red background color and click "Done."
4th / gray rule
Enter the following formula in the field below "Custom formula is...":
=ISNUMBER(A3)
Select a gray background color and click "Done."
It's important that the rules be in the above order, with green at the top and gray at the bottom of the CF rules stack.
