Hello,
I've set my CF rule to look like the screen shot I have attached. I've been over it for what seems like 100x but it's just not working. Can someone please help?
Hello Sydni,
Although conditional formatting should override manual formatting, sometime it hiccups. I'd try clearing the formatting from the 2 columns (see image below).
If your values have been copied from elsewhere or are being calculated via a formula, perhaps also test manually creating values to eliminate issues with the data.
Bear in mind too that your CF rule is applied to the whole row. If you are looking to match your screenshot, you will need to adjust the rule to apply to only the JOB COST TO DATE column.
Kind regards,
Chris McKay
Hi Chris!
Thanks for the response. I cleared everything out and made sure that I only had the CF applied to the JOB COST TO DATE and still nothing. Clearly, I am doing something wrong, I've tried this every different way I can think of, deleted it when it didn't work and tried something new. More than likely, user error.
Hi Sydni,
No idea to be honest. Your CF looks OK, so I'm stumped.
Have you tried creating a new sheet and testing CF with 2 cells? You don't need to rename them, just set them to a Currency format and give it a go.
Another workaround could also be to create a PROJECT DELTA column to the right:
=[ADJUSTED PROJECT COST]1 - [JOB COST TO DATE]1
And then set up your CF based on this new column. If PROJECT DELTA is less than 0 then apply this format to the 'JOB COST TO DATE' column
Hope you get it sorted.
Is there an easy way to quickly drag down the same cell values to 1,000+ cells? Important: I have the sheet filtered, as I only want this to be copied to specific rows. I have over 1,300 rows on the sheet, so I can't just use the column formula functionality. I was hoping I could just double click the bottom right corner…
Hi everyone, hoping for a little help here, I recently did a survey of 240 employees with 9 yes or no questions. I am hoping to create either a linebar or stacked linebar graph showing the 9 questions in a single chart with the question being on the left axis. When I try to do a report to create this graph, Im unable to…
I have given someone access as an Admin to allow them to create new sheets and edit existing and they keep being told they do not have access to edit. What could be causing this?
