ArashMan, Good afternoon.

Why not to use individual formula at Conditional Formatting to perform this?

I hope it helps.

Dear Mazzaropi
Because i want to paste the conditional formatting which is in C7 cell to D7,E7,F7,...... and when i did this they all look to C3:C5 cell
D7 must look at D3:D5 E7 must look at E4:E5 and,,,,,
i hope i can tell you what i mean, maybe the below picture can help

ArashMan, Good afternoon.

This is a bit confusing.

Do you want to know when the numbers are MIN, MIDPOINT and MAXIMUM as the rule you selected?

Why ALL the results at your image MUST be GREEN?

Please, be a little more clear in your explanation.

I want to help you.

ok i will explain with more detail
i used this conditional formatting for C7 cell (the picture) when i extend C2:C7 cells to right the color of D7,E7,.... will change base on C3:C5. but i want for example : if D7=D5 then D7 goes red this is what happen now when i extend.
if D7=C3 then it will goes red and i dont want it.

ArashMan, Good afternoon.

You must use the same logic suggested for your other posts.

Take a look at an example I did for you.

Is this what you want?
I hope it helps.
