conditional formatting based on text value

Question

Hi All,

I have a text formatted line item which gives me the text message "Error" or "No error" based on condition satisfied.

I want to color all the row having message "Error" as light yellow and "No Error" as light green.

Regards

Madhu

As you mentioned Yellow and Green Combination, go with 2Color scale format (Green - Yellow). We don't have Yellow White Green combo in 3color scale.

It would be better from a memory perspective to use a formatted list for Error and Non Error. List formatted line item use half as much space and a lot less memory. If you set the code of the list to be the number you want to use for the conditional formatting, you could use a code(line item)) to return the number

Hi Madhabika,

Create a line item called Error Color with this formula

IF Error text = "Error" THEN -5 ELSE IF Error text = "No Error" THEN 5 ELSE 0

Then in the conditional formatting options, use these settings:

Hope this helps!
