I'm trying to have a cell (E16) change to green if cells E5-15 are >5 or red if E5-15 are < .5 That's the general situation. This is my first post so I apologize in advance. ~tb

Use Format|Conditional Formatting.

By the way: Is

E5-15 ===> E5:E15 ?

Please be more specific. Do you want the color of E16 to be based on the sum of E5 through E16, any value in that range, or all values in that range. (sounds like conditional formatting)

Click on Format-Conditional Formatting, and change the dropdown to Formula Is. Enter: -

=SUM(E5:E15)>5

and choose your format.

Add a condition, and this time use the formula: -

=SUM(E5:E15)<0.5

and again choose your format.
