Why is conditional text formatting so complicated?
- 1 year ago
Hey,
I understand the confusion.
The key thing to remember is that you need a True / True condition for the color change to happen.Example 1 (min greater than 0)
min: 14
max: 50
value: 34
You’ll get:
First rule: True / True
Second rule: True / False
→ The green color will be applied.
Example 2 (max less than 0)
min: -50
max: -2
value: -35
You’ll get:
First rule: False / False
Second rule: True / True
→ Again, since one of the rules is fully True, the color will be applied.
Keep in mind: it’s not about the value being in between min and max these are two separate rules, and both parts of a rule need to be True for the color to be applied.
Hope it helps!
But what happens if the min is greater than 0 or the max is less than 0???
That doesn’t make sense to me. How can the MIN be greater than the MAX?
By definition, the MIN and MAX values will always reflect the smallest and largest values in the current context.
