Default Conditional formatting: alternate shading PLUS red for 0 values


Good to see, and, from Biff and myself, thanks for the response.

Got it, thanks for that! I missed the (simple) link that the cell
reference
is relative and will be transfered to all cells in the range, when the
conditional formatting is applied.

Cheers,
Debbie

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
