Color a half cell

Hello Balthus.

I assume this is your first time using Excel? Well, you should know that a cell is the smallest component of a spreadsheet.
In a cell, you can only input a single piece of data or a single formula.
You can only format the entire cell: borders, fill, protection...
You can associate multiple cells: center across multiple columns, merge cells, name a range of cells...
You cannot split, share, or divide a cell!

But if you could explain in detail what you want to achieve, we would certainly have solutions to offer you, in addition to Eric's.

Hello

there is a possibility by going through cell formatting, fill/pattern tab and texture; you can choose diagonal up or down

best regards

Hello,

Yes, but it gives you a gradient from one corner to another but not a clean diagonal cut at all.
To my knowledge, there is only Eriiic's suggestion, which I acknowledge by the way, that allows you to color the cell diagonally, vertically, or even horizontally with the possibility of adding multiple shapes in the cell.
