Conditional Formatting

[K_Lighty]

Hi
I need help! I am trying to set up my spreadsheet so that one of my cells value, depends on two other cells colour.

Basically I need the "JT PAID" cells value to change depending on which cell is green. "Payable to JT (Profit)" turns green when "Total Profit" is greater than 0 and "Payable to JT (Deficit)" turns green when "Total Profit" is less than 0. I am then linking this to another sheet but i'll worry about that later!

If anyone can help that would be great! As simply explain as possible too!
Thanks in advance.

2 conditional formatting rules
as i dont know what cells - difficult to give a full solution

merged cells are alos difficult to use , no need to use them - just change the width


BUT assuming JT profit is Cell G2
and JT Deficient is G3

total profit in b2

New Rule >> Use a formula to determine which cells to format
Edit the Rule Description: Format values where this formula is true:
=$B$2>0

Format [Number, Font, Border, Fill]
choose the format you would like to apply when the condition is true
OK >> OK

2nd rule
Select G3
=$B$2<0

What happens if total profit = 0

	A	B	C	D	E	F	G

Note: Images are difficult to see , and also requires that I input all the data myself, which is very time consuming.

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

Hi Thank you for your reply but I think you have misunderstood what I'm after. Or I've explained myself badly!
I already have the cells conditioned to turn green depending on profit value. What I need is another cell specifically "JT PAID" to take on the value of whichever cell is green.

Below is a picture of the rows and cells.

how about
=IF(F90 > 0 , K90, IF ( F90 <0 , K91 , 0 ))

so
if the Total profit cell is greater than zero - copy the value from Payable to JT (Profit) cell
if the Total profit cell is less than zero - copy the value from Payable to JT (Deficit) cell
otherwise leave as zero - so if Total profit cell = 0 , then 0


Again - images are difficult to see and copy into an example

so as you see to have merged cells - i have guessed what cell the value is in

I will give that a try! Thank you so much! Life saver.
