Let's assume your data is in the range A1:A5
Select the range A1:A5 so that A1 is the active cell. The active cell is the one that is not "blueish" in color. Select cell A1 then right click and hold the mouse button and drag down to A5 then release the mouse button. Cell A1 will be the active cell. Goto the menu FormatConditional Formatting Select Formula Is Enter this formula in the little box on the right: =ISNA(A1) Click the Format button Select the style(s) desired OK out -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "doyree" wrote in message ... hello please help me with iserror or isna with conditinal formating i've got a whole column with vlookup, a 1234 114315 123512 #N/A 1231 i wanted to fill box for those #N/A i clicked the column A and tried; =ISNA(A1), =ISNA($A1) =ISERROR(A1), =ISERROR($A1) =ISNUMBER(A1), =ISNUMBER($A1) NOTHING WORKS!!! can someone tell me why this isn't working? thank you!! |

You can select the whole column but are you *actually* using the whole
column? Depending on what version of Excel you're using the whole column could be either 1,000,000+ , 65,000+, or 16,000+ rows. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "doyree" wrote in message ...
