I'm trying to have a cell on Sheet A check if it's either > or < the value in a cell on Sheet B, then change its color accordingly. Under the custom formula I use: =A1>("SheetB!A1") , but it doesn't seem to work. I use the color Green for the > and the color Red for the <. Every time the rules are saved it will always display A1 on Sheet A in red. Is the function wrong? Or is it not possible to have a Conditional Format even search across sheets? For some reason (I confess I don't really know why) a custom formula in conditional formatting does not directly support cross-sheet references. But

I have a Google spreadsheet where I keep a list of bugs and whenever I fix a bug I change the status from "Not Started" to "Complete". I want to write a script for the Google Docs spreadsheet such that whenever I change the status to "Complete" the entire row gets highlighted in a certain color. I already know that Google spreadsheet already has "change color on text" but that function only changes the color of the cell and does not change the color of the entire row. //Sets the row color depending on the value in the "Status" column. function setRowColors() { var range = SpreadsheetApp

I'm using Google Sheets for a daily dashboard. What I need is to change the background color of cell B5 based on the value of another cell - C5. If C5 is greater than 80% then the background color is green but if it's below, it will be amber/red. Is this available with a Google Sheets function or do I need to insert a script? Zig Mandel Note: when it says "B5" in the explanation below, it actually means "B{current_row}", so for C5 it's B5, for C6 it's B6 and so on. Unless you specify $B$5 - then you refer to one specific cell. This is supported in Google Sheets as of 2015: https://support
