Conditional Formatting : Numbers & Texts Conflict
Hi I have put 2 conditional formats in a range of cells (A1:C5), i.e: Condition 1: Cell Value Is greater than 10, blue pattern. Condition 2: Cell Value Is less than 50, red font colour. When i put number 5, it changed to red; 30 blue pattern. But why if I put a text (e.g : N), it'll change to blue pattern also? Kindly help me to solve this confussion :confused: .

put a text (e.g : N), it'll change to blue pattern also? Because TEXT evaluates to be greater than ANY numeric value. Why is it like that? I don't know, ask the programmers why they did that! What you can do is use the Formula Is option and use something like this: =AND(ISNUMBER(A1),A110) Biff "nayinky" wrote in message ...
