Thread: using conditional format to change font if column has a number greater than or equal

    using conditional format to change font if column has a number greater than or equal

    Hi

    I’m trying to have the font in cell K165 change from black to red if any number that gets entered in C153:C500 is greater than or equal to 6000
    I went to K165 and put this in conditional format
    =C153:C500=>6000
    and had it change the format to red
    When I test it, it doesn’t work

    What am I missing?

    How about
    =COUNTIF(C153:C500,">=6000")

    Hi Fluff,
    I tried your formula first with the " and then with out "
    with ", no formula was recognized
    without ", I got a message that there were too few arguments.
    C153:C500 is formatted with general numbers.

    I want it to go into conditional format. . K165 already has 6000 When the condition is met, I want the font to change to red

    The formula should work in Conditional formatting.
    What version of Xl are you running?

    Forgot to mention, can you supply a copy of your workbook?

    Fluff,
    I was deleting any personal info on the spreed sheet, when I decided to try again.
    Funny, It worked when I made sure the last " was in the formula.

    I also found that I can copy and past into the conditional format box.
    I'm using Windows 10 64 bit and Windows Office 365

    Thank you for your patients.

    I record my millage on my lease truck and wanted to keep track when the oil change is due. Now a cell with the last oil change millage will turn red when its time for another one.
