Hi there,

I have a RAG (Red, Amber, Green) analysis based on simple conditional formatting rules, where you are required to input a value 1 to 3 depending on a pre-evaluated score; 1 = Red, 2= Amber and 3=Green.

I was wondering, whether you can apply a more merged approach, like a heat map and so the table isn't so rigid and you get a colour contrast going from one cell to another cell and you wouldn't see any grid lines. Is this achievable in excel 2016?

Regards
Ben

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Hi,

I know how to hide gridlines and I've noticed that the colours haven't come out on my example. I was looking for a 'heat map' presentation so you end up with a contrast of Reds, Greens & Ambers across all cells in the table.

You are welcome.

I didn't even know it could do that before I searched. Looks pretty slick!
