Complicated!! - Conditional formatting with nested function
Ok, i have a sheet with a series of columns that take user input. to the
right of the user input (offset by 0 rows & 3 columns) i have predetermined limitations. I am attempting to set a conditional format that highlights the user-editable fields if their values fall outside the paramaters of those in the next few ranges. The referenced data will eventually be hidden from the user which is why I want excel to alert the users if they are making mistakes. What I have been attempting to use is something like this: =if(offset(indirect(address(column(), row())), 0, 3) = <<some value .....using a formula under conditional formatting .....using excel 2007 ..... for testing purposes I have been using sample text, i.e. ="test" excel accepts the formula but no formatting takes place. Where might my mistake be? |
