Conditional Formatting "OR" function
Hi Everyone,
I am changing a spreadsheet that hopefully when either for example a or s is entered in a cell the cell will go red. I already have other conditions in the spreadsheet for other formats. Does anyone know if this is possible? If it is possible can you please explain a little more than usual as I've only being "formatting" properly for around 2 months. Any info greatly appreciated.

Hi
in the conditional format dialog choose 'formula' and enter =OR(A1="s",A1="a") if A1 is your selected cell -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "Baz Masterson" <Baz schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

thanx frank,
if it was a selection instead of individual cell for example: $C$12:$U$285 could I change the formula to match?

Hi Frank,
No not working at all. Enter data and no area changes colour. Any other ideas? Or does it seem kinda impossible?

Hi frank,
I set the format's on a single cell and then copied to the remaining cells and all works fine.
