IF function and Conditional Formatting

Is it possible to conditional format a group of cells (or a single cell for that matter) to strike through the contents based upon the contents of another cell.

For example, I am trying to compile an equipment list. On occasions, some of those items will be disposed of and I am trying to format a cell to retain visibility of the record by putting a line through the item/record that has been disposed of.

RE: IF function and Conditional Formatting

Hi Bowen,

Thanks for the question,

You can use a conditional format with the strike through option. How you do that is, you can use the Format menu > Conditional Formatting. Change from "Cell value is" to "Formula equal to" now you put your formula in, for example =A3>2000 then you can you the formatting button and apply your strikethrough fomatting. So if A3 is bigger than 2000 it will apply the condition to that cell

Hope that helps

Tracy

Excel tip:

Closing all your workbooks Quickly

Hold the SHIFT key down and using the mouse click on the file menu, it will now now CLOSE ALL rather than close. This closes all workbooks down but still leaves the application open.
