Conditional Formating Assistance

[Joneye]

I have a conditional format in cells E6&E7 as you can see E6 has a formula in and the result is 0 but the colour seems to appear from the formating.

The formating is set to "cell value is" "greater than" "0.1"

I wish to leave the formaula in and see the cell white when 0.

Try 0.1 instead of "0.1"

VOG - All works now thanks for your speedy response.

I take that back it seems fine when the cell does not have the IF formula in it, but when the formaula is there and reporting back a 0 it still seems to colour it.

 

[VoG]

Remove the "" from the 0 at the end of your formula. Sorry, I didn't spot that before.

 

[Joneye]

Works better now,

I take it the " " means EXACT match? were as no " " means ignor a certain rule?

 

[VoG]

No. "0" means 0 as text. You want the number 0 (no "") so you can make the numerical comparison >0.1.
