Default Conditional formatting: alternate shading PLUS red for 0 values


Hi,
and Hi Biff,

with the required range selected, and the first cell (A1 in my formula)
the active cell (the odd colour highlight)

in the first condition - formula
=AND(MOD(ROW(),2)=1,A1=0)

in the second condition - formula
=(A1=0)

in the third condition - formula
=MOD(ROW(),2

Seems to work for zero = (font red) and/or row = odd (pattern =
colour)

Hope this helps

Thanks for your help, Biff and Bryan.

Biff, your method works a treat. Bryan, I am interested in getting
yours
right too, for the learning. I tried something similar to what you
proposed,
but got stuck in the first condition when specifying the value. For
example:

1. Formula Is: =AND(MOD(ROW(),2)=1,CellValueIs=O)

How do I write the "Cell Value Is" part, so that I don't have to
specify an
actual cell (eg A10=0), but rather refers to the cell being formatted?
Sorry, could be very simple...I discovered conditional formatting about
2
hours ago!

Many thanks,
Deb

Try 3 conditions,

first = AND( row , values) -- shading and red font
second = rows -- shading
third = values -- red font

Hope this helps

Hi there,

I've applied Formula is =MOD(ROW(),2)=1 and selected a shading

colour
for my
table. However, if the cell values = 0, I want the numbers to be

red.

Can't seem to get it to work, as when both conditions are true,

the
second
one gets ignored. Perhaps it's to do with OR/ AND statements?

Help appreciated!

Thanks,
Debbie
