conditional formatting in Excel 2007 - help, please!
I have a large spreadsheet, with the active data area being cells a4:x8659.
In the A column, I have a formula that evaluates to 1 or 0, depending on whether the room number in column E has changed from the previous row. What I *want* to have happen is this: 1) If the value of the cell in the A column for a particular row is 1, set the color of the cells in that particular row to color #1 (in this case, a nice pastel yellow); 2) If the value of the cell in the A column for a particular row is 0, set the color of the cells in that particular row to white. Have tried to follow the instructions in the Help section, but am not getting the results I want - yet. The range of cells to be checked and colored *is* large. Is this a factor in getting the CF to work? If I've understood the Help File correctly, this conditional formatting can be over-ridden by separately and manually-applied cell formatting. Am I correct on this? Any help will be appreciated - greatly! Barbara -- *************************** Bookaholics of the World, Unite!
