Default conditional formatting problem

There are better formulas to use for this but this is part of the learning
process.

The formula I tried isn't the best formula for this but I was experimenting.
That formula is both logically and syntactically correct but it doesn't
work. I would just like to know why!

hi there

ive tried these on CF at cell N7

=COUNT($N$7,$N$19,$N$31)*(N7=MIN($N$7,$N$19,$N$31) )

=AND(COUNT($N$7,$N$19,$N$31)0,(N7=MIN($N$7,$N$19, $N$31)))

i also like to know why your formula dont work with both indirect and
count
function inside an *and*...

regards,
driller

Yeah, that's where I'm at!

I can see no reason why it shouldn't work.

Biff,

I
can see no reason why it shouldn't..

=IF(AND(A1=123),"T","F") works as a normal formula

=AND(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()))=MIN(N$7,N$1 9,N$31)) doesn't work
in
CF

....?????

Well, I'm making progress!

If I remove the AND(COUNT(......) it works.

=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()))=MIN(N$7,N$19,N$ 31)

As you can see it does work with empty row/column arguments.

Here's the post from last night:

I've used much more complex formulas in CF than these!

I hate not knowing what's causing this to not work.

Biff,

When I enter numbers into the Address function, it works, but
doesn't
when
I use ROW() and/or COLUMN().

Perhaps it is too nested for CF.

This has me completely stumped!

Why doesn't this conditional formatting get applied?

The formula is correct. I've put the same formula in column O
(adjusted
for the column offset) and as you can see, evaluates to TRUE.

That highlighted 23 is also conditionally formatted. Just a test to
make
sure that *any* CF is working.

Thanks
Biff
