conditional format problem
 
I have two conditions
1. m20
2. =M2-P2<3

It only pays attention to the 2nd condition. As if its and "or" rather
than an "and".

I'm using conditional formating off the toolbar.

I want to color the cell red if both conditions are met. It works fine
if m2 0 but it also works if m2=0. Why?

Are you using:
"Formula Is"
And this formula:

=AND(M20,M2-P3<3)

they are independent, so it's neither or nor and if you know what I mean :)

No, I wasn't and that worked... thanks. I was using the tiered selction
process from the tool bar.
