How do I change the background color of another cell based on the value of a ListBox + another cell?

[DreyFox]

Hello!

So I have a ListBox with about 4 items, and a cell which will contain random numbers. When the cell with random numbers is less than 1.10 And the ListBox's value is a specific item, then I would like for another cell to be colored green. If the cell with random numbers is greater than 1.10, And the ListBox's value is a specific item, I would like for another cell to be red.

I'm not sure how to implement this, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You need to link the listbox to a cell, then you can use conditional formatting. After you have linked the listbox to a cell, set up two conditional formatting rules to apply to the cell to color:

Let's say the listbox is linked to A1
The random number is in B2
The value in the listbox to trigger green is GREENVALUE
The value in the listbox to trigger red is REDVALUE

=AND(B2<1.1,A1="GREENVALUE")
format green color

=AND(B2>1.1,A1="REDVALUE")
format red color
