Post From: Background Coloring from Spreadsheet

Hello
Was unable to find a solution in a review of 300+ posts with "Spreadsheet" in the search feature.

I would like to color the chart background with a specific color (only two colors) if prompted by a signal (alert). Until there is a reverse signal, I want each subsequent chart space to have the same color background.

Column K has a formula that says if value in column BI > 0, True, otherwise 0. No problem there.
Column L has a formula that says if value in column BI > 0, True, otherwise 0. No problem there.

I would like Column M to have the words "White" or "Brown" subject to the last signal (alert).
The formula for Cell M3 that I wrote is: =IF(K3=True, "White", IF(L3=True, "Brown", M4))

Except for a small red triangle in the upper right corner of the cell, the formula provides no text and is blank.

I hope there's a solution and it can help not only my formula writing but that of others as well.

Thanks
JD
