Conditional Formating and Recalc
Hello
Caclulation is set to automatic. Cell B6 formula is =B19. B118 =SUMPRODUCT(--(RIGHT($A119:$A190,5)="TOTAL"),--B119:B190) Conditional formating for B6 is =B6<B118 If I make a change in B119:B190 that changes B118 to where it is no longer = to B19 then CF does not update until I select B6 then hit F2 to enter edit mode (make no changes) then hit enter. Manual recalc (F9) does not update the CF. Any ideas? |

Conditional Formating and Recalc
I cannot reproduce your problem in Excel 2003 or Excel 2007
Starting in A119 I have a............3 b............4TOTAL.. 5 a........... 6 b............7 TOTAL.. 8 In B118 I have =SUMPRODUCT(--(RIGHT($A119:$A190,5)="TOTAL"),--B119:B190) (see below) and it displays 13 In B6 I typed 13 and used conditional formatting Formula Is:=$B$6<$B$118 with a red pattern If I alter B121 to have any value but 5, B118 is no longer 13 and B6 goes red since it is not equal to B118. Want to send me a file I can look at? Get my email from my website By the way: In =SUMPRODUCT(--(RIGHT($A119:$A190,5)="TOTAL"),--B119:B190) there is no need for the double negation in the last argument Use =SUMPRODUCT(--(RIGHT($A119:$A190,5)="TOTAL"),B119:B190) The double negation is need in the first augment to convert Boolean FALSE/TRUE to 0/1 see J.E McGimpsey at http://mcgimpsey.com/excel/formulae/doubleneg.html --best wishes Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "Thanks" wrote in message ...

Conditional Formating and Recalc
I did the same thing with the same result in a new work book and then on a
new sheet in the existing workbook. I have copied the old sheet to a new one and it works on the new one. Thanks for the reply!
