Hello,

I have conditionally formatted A2-A15 to visually represent a stoplight for a series of equipment dependencies (RED, YELLOW, GREEN).

I have used r=RED... y=YELLOW and g=GREEN for the conditional formatting factors.

What I am trying to do now is have cell A1 turn RED if any cell in A2-A15 is RED... YELLOW if cells A2-A15 are not RED but at least one is YELLOW... and GREEN if none of cells A2-A15 are RED or YELLOW

Basically, I am trying to get cell A1 to represent the top level equipment status for leadership and we can then drill down as required.


Thank you for your time and assistance.

You will not be able to use color to conditional format. What you can do is have A1 be a conditional format based on a OR conditions

example for red a1
=OR(A2 red condition, a3 condition... a15 red condtion)
