odd and even number conditional formatting
Hi,
I am trying to do Conditional formatting for odd and even numbers. If number is Even, the cell pattern colour should be Red If number is Odd, the cell pattern colour should be Blue The formula I given is =ISEVEN($A$1) and in format selected the red colour. =ISODD($A$1) and in format selected the blue colour. This formula is not working€¦. But I am getting error message that you may not use references to other worksheets or workbooks for conditional formatting criteria. Please advice€¦ |

odd and even number conditional formatting
Hi!
The reason you get that error message is because those functions are part of the Analysis ToolPak add-in which is in fact references to other worksheets or workbooks. Try these: For even: =MOD(A1,2)=0 For odd: =MOD(A1,2)0 I'm assuming the numbers will only be integers. Biff "vishu" wrote in message ...

Use relative references:
=ISEVEN(A1) =ISODD(A1) Regards, Stefi "vishu" wrote: Hi, I am trying to do Conditional formatting for odd and even numbers.
