Dear Rick,

What would the formula below look like if the conditional value is between
a
couple of numbers?

=AND(J1681=3,J1681<"")

for example between 675 and 800, or between -50 and -100?

You will have to change to an actual formula in your conditional format
rather than use the preset relations. Type J1681:J2500 in the Name Box
(which is the empty box to the left of the Formula Bar) so as to select
the
range you want to conditionally format with J1681 as the active cell
(knowing the active cell for the selection is important since the formula
we
will use will reference it directly... the Conditional Formatting dialog
will handle distributing the conditional formula to then non-active cells
automatically). Now call up the Conditional Formatting dialog and select
"Formula Is" from the first drop down, then put this formula in the next
blank field...

=AND(J1681=3,J1681<"")

and set the Format condition color (if you don't have it set any more).
Now,
OK your way back to the worksheet... your cells should be colored
correctly
now.

I use the following formulas which are conditionally formatted in
column
J:

=IF(D1679="","",D1679/E1679)
=IF(D1680="","",D1680/E1680)
=IF(D1681="","",D1681/E1681)
=IF(D1682="","",D1682/E1682)
=IF(D1683="","",D1683/E1683)
=IF(D1684="","",D1684/E1684)
€¦

If the cell D1681 is blank, for example, the formatting on the blank
cell
fills with the color green in J1681 blank cell, and then through the
end
of
the worksheet row J2500.

These blank green cells are distracting, if the cell is blank I
would
prefer
the green fill from the conditional formatting does not appear, I
would
like
a blank cell. I would like the conditional formatting to apply to
cells
that
contain values only.

Do you know of a way to mask this green formatting from appearing if
the
cell value is blank?

I am currently using Excel 2007, the original worksheet was Excel
97-2003
which I €śsaved as€ť in the Excel Worksheet format.

I have literally searched for hours trying to resolve this issue,
and
the
€śstop if true€ť flag does not work. I have also read a significant
amount
of
help on conditional formatting to no avail.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
