![]() ![]() Please note: Changing the number format with conditional formatting only works with Excel for Windows. Please refer to this article for more information about conditional formatting with formulas. ![]() Define the format if your condition is true. ![]() The condition is quite straightforward: =$C$12=”VAT”.In the lower dropdown list, choose “Use a formula to determine which cells to format”.Click on “Conditional Formatting” in the center of the Home ribbon. We only have to set up the exception for “VAT”. This can be done with conditional formatting.Text is still shown as text so we already got the value types “Number of inhabitants” and “Currency” covered. In our case, we also use thousand separators. First step: Set the format of cell C13 to “Number”.For other values, it shows normal number formats. For instance, when you retrieve the value for VAT, the return cell is formatted with the %-sign. You’ve probably noticed, that in our example for the 2D lookups, the format of the return cell changes depending on the type of value. Use a conditional formatting rule for changing the %-sign when you display the VAT. With the INDIRECT formula you really make it a part of the INDEX formula and can refer to the range “D:D”. That way, you search within the support table for “VAT”. Now – in order to make also the return column a variable – you insert the INDIRECT formula and replace the “D:D”: =INDEX(INDIRECT(VLOOKUP(C12,G2:I6,3,FALSE)),MATCH(C11,B:B,0)) It returns the number of the first occurrence of “Canada” within this range. With the MATCH formula we search for “Canada” in column B. In case of the VAT, the normal INDEX/MATCH approach without a dynamic search column would look like this: =INDEX(D:D,MATCH(C11,B:B 0)) In order to keep it simple, we don’t simply write D but D:D as this is the complete return range. ![]() We extend the support table from our method 2 above by the column letter (e.g. We need a bit more preparation for this method. We’ve added it here is it shows an approach using the INDIRECT formula. You can transfer it – if you like – to the SUMIFS formula. The third method is not really convenient as it is quite long. ![]()
