Conditional Formatting Confusion
I have a cell that contains the value 5.4. The value is a result of a
calculated formula. There is conditional formatting set up in that cell and it's not turning a different color. When I type in 5.4 in that cell, the cell color changes accordingly. What could be causing this to happen? Im confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Karen |

As always post your conditional formatting formula for comments

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Karen Most likely the result of your formula is not EXACTLY 5.4. One fix would be to modify your conditional formatting formula to take that into account. Another fix would be to ROUND the formula in the cell to one digit after the decimal. --ron |

The calculated value of 5.4 may not be exactly 5.4.
Increase decimal places and you may find the value is 5.37001 or similar. In that cae you have to use the ROUND function to get your value to 5.4 Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 3 Mar 2010 14:22:05 -0800, Karen wrote: I have a cell that contains the value 5.4.

Sorry
The formula is: =D19 X e19 x F19 x 0.0001 D19 = 63 E19 = 860 F19 = 0.0001 The conditional formatting is: Condition 1: Greater than or equal to 0.1 Condition 2: Less Than or Equal to 5.4 OK, not this is weird. I just applied the conditional formatting to several cells and they all turned the color I specified. Some are within the parameters and some are outside the 0.1 and 5.4. HELP!

Thank you, but I'm not sure how to round if there's a formula in the cell.
The formula is: =D19 X e19 x F19 x 0.0001 How can this be done?

The ROUND function can be located in Excel help.
Basics are =ROUND(D19*E19*F19,1) to get 1 DP =ROUND(D19*E19*F19,0) to get no DP Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 4 Mar 2010 14:16:01 -0800, Karen wrote: Thank you, but I'm not sure how to round if there's a formula in the cell.
