I am using Conditional Formatting to try and change the colour of a cell in column A if the text in Column B is certain values. Currently my three formula’s are this:
=$B$2="Low"
=$B$2="Good"
=$B$2="High"
I need a way to quickly push this to all 50 columns therefore I thought if I could change the formula to the following it would work I just don’t know how:
=$B$ThisCellsRow()="Low"
=$B$ThisCellsRow()="Good"
=$B$ThisCellsRow()="High"
You’re using absolute cell references (the
$in the address), which prevents Excel from adjusting the address as you add/remove rows and move the formula around. If you use$B2instead, as you drag down the formula, Excel can adjust it to be$B3,$B4,$B5and so on. With this format, theBcolumn remains constant, and the row portion is flexible.
