Conditional Formating - formula not working
Brad, thanks for your time and knowledge!
Brad wrote: My suggestion would have been the same as Jim's =if(ISNA(vlookup(A1, A2:B10, 2, False)), "Not Found", vlookup(A1, A2:B10, 2, False)) -- With one small adjustment =if(ISNA(vlookup(A1, $A$2:$B$10, 2, False)), "Not Found", vlookup(A1, $A$2:$B$10, 2, False)) That way if you need to copy the equation - your lookup range remains the same. Why Excel handled the #NA differently - can't give you a 100% definitive answer. "EagleOne" wrote: Brad, The issue appears to be related to the displayed results of an unsuccessful VLookup. Meaning, if I type in #N/A, the CF formula works but if the displayed #N/A is from the VLookup, it is not considered "not equal" and the formula fails. How do I work around this? EagleOne Brad wrote: Using your logic I got the red to work - however I had to remove the double quotes the conditional formating added when I typed in the equation "EagleOne" wrote: 2003 Cell A1 = 101 Cell B1 = 101 Cell C1 = #N/A (Unsuccessful VLookup) What I want (CF background color of A1 = Red) if EITHER B1 or C1 does not equal A1 The actual not-working formula in A1 Conditional Format is: Formula is =OR(A1<B1,A1<C1) Then Set Background Color to Red Thanks EagleOne |
