I hope someone can tell you how to do it.

Several times I have wanted to have the results in a cell be different colors based on testing the value in the cell but I've never been able to do it except for a negative result being red and a positive result being black.

I'll wait with you.....

My attempt was to move all data into a singular sheet, conditionally format and then copy that formatting over to each individual cell.....


........fail. Does not work. Defaults to only recognizing a discrete set of 1 for that cell rather than the population you are copying the formatting from.

You can put endless conditional formats on a given cell... couldn't you just manually set the colors to match whatever value is in the cell by adding rules? You could also use the color scale option in the conditional formatting table
