Hi Andrew

select your store names and then scroll up (with them selected) so that row
2 is the first row at the top of the screen
choose format / conditional formatting
choose formula is
type
=SUM(C2:D2)=0
click format ... choose formatting
click OK

this will make the store name red if they have sold NO products whatsoever.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply. Ive tried this but still not working..If i give an
example it might make sense.


Ok..

Store Id Store Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4 etc etc through to 18
2 London 2 3 1 0 0
0000000
4 Exeter 0 0 0 0 0
0000000
27 Ireland 1 0 0 0 0
00000000


Ok the list is 400 stores. I need to higlight stores that have sold 0
items.
So in this case it would colour the Exeter cell in red as this store had
sold
zero products for that week.

I hope this clears up what I was asking..If this helps please let me know.

Thanks!!

For simplicity assume your stock values start in A2 and your store names
start in B2
instead of using cell value equals in conditional formatting use formula
is
and

=$A2=0

assuming 0 is the value, if it is blank replace 0 with ""
now select A2 and click the paintbrush icon and "paint"
the rest of the cells
