I have a range containing formulas that evaluate to TRUE or FALSE.

How would one apply conditional formatting to this range, so that TRUE cells are Green, and FALSE cells are RED?

  1. Select your cells.
  2. Home Tab -> Format Group -> Conditional Formatting -> New Style: True Values
  3. Repeat step 2 with this: False Values

For Windows version. Microsoft 365 Excel (Version 2004(Build 12730.20270) *Note the version is not the year - this is the 365 version in year 2020

You need to create 2 rules (one for each colour) Go to

  1. Home Tab -> Styles Group -> Conditional formatting -> Manage rules
    *Alternatively just type Conditional formatting in the search bar at the top

  2. New rule

  3. Rule type -> Format only cells that contain
    Cell Value -> Equal to -> {your value in this case True} =TRUE
    And select the format, then okay

  1. this will take you back to manage rules where you now have one rule. Now do steps 2-4 again but for the False value

Now you should have 2 rules in your manage rules window

The usual Conditional Formatting rule of "Equal To" was not working for me when using "true"/"false"

I found that the "Text that Contains" option worked instead:
