How to change the cell color in excel

Your requirement can be easily done using the conditional formatting which is available in Microsoft excel. Let see how it happened. I will take an example in order to explain this. Please try to understand it carefully.

As you mentioned in your question I took some data.

Now select the entire column B and click on the conditional formatting in the styles section.

Then select the highlight cell rules and click on the between.

In the next window, type “0” to first white box and “25000” to next white box.

Then Select “Yellow fill with dark Yellow Text”, from the “with” drop down list and click ok.

Again follow the same steps and type 25000 in the first white box and 50000 in the next white box.

Then Select “Light Red fill with dark Red Text”, from the “with” drop down list and click ok.

Again do the same thing and take values as 50000 and 1000000.Select “Green fill with dark Green Text”.

Now your answer is complete.
