Excel Colour

Hi,

I am trying to create a summary table with two coloumns that will be populated with a brand name / date.

To get the brand names / dates this will be based off if another cell in the table is red. Is there a way to search if a cell is red then return the brand name / date from another cell based on if it is? Whilst also not returning any results for the cells that didn't meet the criteria so I don't have blank cells in the summary.

Thanks for any help :)

RE: Excel Colour

Hi Alex

Currently, there is no way in Excel of making decisions based on a cells formatting.

You could use something such as an IF function, along with a vlookup, to make decisions based on other criteria.

Excel tip:

Removing custom dictionary entries

If you add something to the custom dictionary in Excel you cannot remove it. The way to get around this is to go into word and remove it there.
