Conditional formating

[ashfaqbsayed]

when timer starts in cell A3, B3 with conditional format should display message "on Break"

when timer stops in A3, B3 with conditional format should empty.

Good day ashfaqbsayed.!


Assuming that if A3 has the (timer) time. If it is stopped (timer time : 00:00) the status in B3 should be empty. Otherwise (when the timer is running) the status should be "On Break" in B3.


If my assumption is not wrong, there is a possibility. you can use this in B3.

=IF(A3=0,"","On Break")


But I am not sure why you wanted to display a message by conditional formatting option.

Hi, ashfaqbsayed!


First of all welcome to Chandoo's website Excel forums. Thank you for your joining us and glad to have you here.


As a starting point I'd recommend you to read the green sticky topics at this forums main page. There you'll find general guidelines about how this site and community operates (introducing yourself, posting files, netiquette rules, and so on).


Among them you're prompted to perform searches within this site before posting, because maybe your question had been answered yet.


Feel free to play with different keywords so as to be led thru a wide variety of articles and posts, and if you don't find anything that solves your problem or guides you towards a solution, you'll always be welcome back here. Tell us what you've done, consider uploading a sample file as recommended, and somebody surely will read your post and help you.


And about your question...


May I ask what do you mean by "timer"? As Excel and VBA don't have what in Visual Basic is available as a Timer control, if Dhamo's solution doesn't work for you, please consider proceeding to the uploading file method.
