I need a formula that will change the displayed color of a value based on
amount.
For example: under 200=yellow, over 200=red.
Also, can I add input from a third column?
For example: under 200 and Column D=No, then yellow.
under 200 and column D=yes, then green.

Try conditional formatting for the cells
Click on /scroll over cells you need to format
FORMAT>CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

Can I add a third variable as in my second example?  (Value greater then 200
and Column D "yes" then red, Column D "no" then yellow?

Hi

Try
=AND(C2>200,D2="NO")
Format Yellow
=AND(C2>200,D2="YES")
Format Red

Where? Do I put these formulae in the Conditional formatting pop up box?
Under "Cell value is"  or "formula is"?

Thanks.

Sorry, I thought you had already got to that part.
It is under Formula Is
