hello, i am a web developer with woocomerce. i am finishing off a large (ish) store and are looking to give him a launch present. I have an excell spreadsheet of the product data, 600 row, 60 columns. I want each cell to have a colour depending on the number held, use as an hex value, i dont mind really. If its text then a one colour, if an empty cell another. I am kind of looking like the DNA of the shop.

Excelchat Expert

using conditional formatting in excel this is not possible
Excelchat Expert
12/09/2018 - 09:30
based on the values of those cell it can be couloured with a specific colour but there's no option to take the value from a cell and use that value as a colour in cell
