How do I write a formula based on cel color
Solved by Z. J. in 20 mins
Hello, my request is: I have 3 columns (Column A with specific tasks, column B with a category-CAT1 to CAT4- for each task and column C with TODO, IN PROGRESS or DONE). On the other side I have a CAT square (with 4 fields for each CAT). And I would like to display with different color the specific task from column A in CAT field of the square, depending of its Status in column B. In my example, when it's TODO, I would like to keep black color. When it's IN PROGRESS, in yellow. And when it's DONE, in green. See my xls file as example. Could you help me please?

I am trying to get a cell (Group of cells) change back ground color based on what gets input into the column next to it. Basically it's a ticket sheet. If the price has been paid, I want the cell to be green. If it has not been paid, then I would like it to be red. I got the "IF / THEN" Statement to work where it says PAID, or NOT PAID, but I want the color to change as well.
