Conditional formatting: alternate shading PLUS red for 0 values
 

Hi there,

I've applied Formula is =MOD(ROW(),2)=1 and selected a shading colour for my
table. However, if the cell values = 0, I want the numbers to be red.

Can't seem to get it to work, as when both conditions are true, the second
one gets ignored. Perhaps it's to do with OR/ AND statements?

Help appreciated!

Thanks,
Debbie

Conditional formatting: alternate shading PLUS red for 0 values
 

Try 3 conditions,

first = AND( row , values) -- shading and red font
second = rows -- shading
third = values -- red font

Hope this helps

Hi!

AND/OR will not help in this case.

You have 2 distinct condtions and as you've discovered only one condition
can be satisfied.

You could use the cf for the row banding and then use a custom format for
cells:

0;-0;[Red]General

Thanks for your help, Biff and Bryan.

Biff, your method works a treat. Bryan, I am interested in getting yours
right too, for the learning. I tried something similar to what you proposed,
but got stuck in the first condition when specifying the value. For example:

1. Formula Is: =AND(MOD(ROW(),2)=1,CellValueIs=O)

How do I write the "Cell Value Is" part, so that I don't have to specify an
actual cell (eg A10=0), but rather refers to the cell being formatted?
Sorry, could be very simple...I discovered conditional formatting about 2
hours ago!

Many thanks,
Deb

Hi,
and Hi Biff,

with the required range selected, and the first cell (A1 in my formula)
the active cell (the odd colour highlight)

in the first condition - formula
=AND(MOD(ROW(),2)=1,A1=0)

in the second condition - formula
=(A1=0)

in the third condition - formula
=MOD(ROW(),2

Seems to work for zero = (font red) and/or row = odd (pattern =
colour)

Hope this helps

Got it, thanks for that! I missed the (simple) link that the cell reference
is relative and will be transfered to all cells in the range, when the
conditional formatting is applied.

Cheers,
Debbie
