Display Text and formatting based on another cell's value

[miloco4u]

Hi All!

I am new here to the forums, but certainly not excel, although I am no genius. I am looking to have text displayed in one cell, based on the value of another cell.

I understand this has been asked before, but I have tried all suggestions and cant seem to ket it working. This is what I need:

In cell in column BE, there is a formula to calculate monthly average of units sold.

Cell A3 and on until A75 is where I would like to select an "Account Status" label for each account, based on their monthly average of units sold in cell BE3 to BE75.

So, when cell BE3 is more than 10, I would like it to display "Over 10". When cell BE3 is between 5 and 9, display "5 to 9", When cell BE3 is 4 and under, display "Under 4"

Also, each of the displays (Over 10, 5 to 9, and Under 4) are to be color coded.

I have tried conditional formatting and cant seem to get the correct formula. Any ideas on how to set this up?

Thansk!

row 7		2	under 4	########						1	under 4
		3	under 4							5	5 to 9

		7	5 to 9
		8	5 to 9
		9	5 to 9
		10	over 10
		11	over 10
		12	over 10
		8	5 to 9
		6	5 to 9
		4	under 4
		2	under 4

For the first issue, to bring in specific text in column A based on values in column BE, use a simple “IF” function as following:
=IF(BE3>=10,"Over 10",IF(AND(BE3>4,M2<9),"5-9",IF(BE3<=4,"Under 4")))
Then drag it down for all rows until row 75 or as u need.
For the second issue to change the color of the cell, u need to use Conditional Formatting – First select all rows from A2 till A75, and then go to: Conditional Formatting>New Rule>’Format only cells that contain’, and select there from the Drop down ‘Specific text’>containing "Over 10" and chose a format and color for this – Then repeat this steps to create a New Rule for "5-9", and then for "Under 4".
Hope this will help u
