Hi

I am unable to get a conditional format to work correctly using a combination of index/match, I've added in the indirect formula so that I'm able to use my structured table references this gives me:

=INDEX(INDIRECT("Tbl1"),MATCH(A2,INDIRECT("Tbl1[ID No]"),0),8) which works correctly in a cell to return the matched number which just happens to be 19, however what I'm trying to do is put that into a conditional format so that if the index match result is greater than 10 colour the cell.

I've tried combinations of =INDEX(INDIRECT("Tbl1"),MATCH(A2,INDIRECT("Tbl1[ID No]"),0),8)>10 but nothing seems to happen, any advice is welcome :)

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
If the formula works in a cell then it should work in conditional formatting.
If you enter the second version (with >10 at the end) in a cell does it return TRUE?

Yes thanks Jason it does come back as true, I've found my error now I had the first part of the match formula as a relative reference not absolute and when I dropped it into the formula bar it was looking in the wrong cell! Doh! Thanks for looking at this for me though.
