Hey David,

Thanks for the reply.

Nice catch on the whole row.

There seems to be a problem with that formula (=$M2<0)

That formula is what I tried at first in CF. I know how to get the
color I need if the formula is working. That formula seems to be the
culprit. So to test the formula, I moved back to the sheet and chose
a column to test the formula. In the first row (row 2), I placed:

=IF($M2<0,"NEGATIVE","POSITIVE")

I then copied it down for 10 rows (it automatically advanced the row
number), I paced both positive and negative numbers (along with a
zero in one row for testing) in the test rows M column.

They all came back "POSITIVE" which is to say they all returned FALSE.

Any idea as to what is wrong with this formula?

just for that cell, then it'll need Conditional Formatting.
