Sandy,

The "N/A" is not a error message but is a value I put in the cell.
So, if the cell value is "N/A" in either C6 or C7 the format for both cells
should be no formatting.

Does this make a difference in what you would do for this situation?

The desired results are

If C6C7 yellow background in both
If C7C6 no formatting in either
If either C7 or C6 = "N/A" no formatting in either

Thank you in advance.

I have two rows where I need to show a yellow background if the top number is
higher than the bottom.

I have done a conditional format which works great until it runs into the
occassional cell that contains a N/A because there is no data to report.
(The cell is suppose to contain the N/A)

How can I hightlight the top row and bottom row it the top row cotains the
hightest number and have neither of them highlight if the top row has the
lowest or a N/A.

Currently conditional format is.

Formatting in C6
if c6=N/A no formatting
if c6 is greater than c7 yellow background

Formatting in C7
if c7=N/A no formatting
if C7 is greater than c6 no formatting
if c7 is less than c6 yellow background (this is the problem area, if c6
equals N/A it is reading it as less than)

Any suggestions?
