Hi

I have used a conditional format for "icon sets" in Excel 2013 the traffic light option.

Green >= 100, Orange >=80 Red <80

All worked fine on my first sheet however, when I tried to repeat it in 2 more sheets (in the same workbook) the green and orange are appearing red.

Has that happened anyone else?

Was there any fix?
 

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
Works fine for me.

in A1 put 120
in A2 put 90
in A3 put 75

So Im expecting (reading down the column) Green Yellow Red

Condtional Formatting
Format Style: Icon Sets
Change Type to Number
For green value enter 100
Tab to yellow value enter 80
Red value automatically goes to < 80
Click OK.

Spreadsheet is Green yellow red when reading down

Thanks I still had issues and I'm not sure why but when it worked on one cell I simply used format painter and it seemed to solve what I needed.

Works fine for me.
