Excel根据其他单元格值创建“条形”或填充一系列单元格

Question

I want to create a automatically generated "timeline" as i fill a column with numbers. Lets say C4 gets the value of 5. Then I want D4:I4 to be either filled with a 1 (so I can use conditional formatting), or filled with a specific color. This should be the case for more than 300 rows, C4:C350. Is there a way to use normal formulas or do I need to write a macro. I need it to be as easily used as possible since a lot of people not used to work with macros should be able to use it.

ABCDEFGHIJKL Art no1 Name1 Amount 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Art no2 Name2 Amount 1 2 3 4 5 Art no2 Name2 Amount 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

And so on...

Answer 1

• Select the range you want to be colored, ie D4:M350. M depends on the max value your column C will have. In this example, I assumed that 10 will be the max value (D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M = 10 columns).

• On the Home tab, click Conditional Formatting -> New Rule -> Format values where this formula is true

• Enter this formula:

   =COLUMN(D4)-COLUMN($C4)<=$C4 

• Click the Format button, choose your desired cell format and you're good to go.
