Hi,

I have two option buttons labelled as follows: "$ - Dollar Price" & "£ - Sterling Price", these link to Cell A1. Allowing the user to pick how they want to see the prices displayed.

I have a table of prices that links runs a vlookup with an IF statement based on the value in A1, =Vlookup(B1,Data, if($a$1=1, 4,5),false). This functions as expected.

I then have conditional fomating applied to the table as follows:

=$A$1=1 -> $ formatting applied
=$A$1=2 -> £ formatting applied

This works if i change the value in A1 manually but not if I use the option buttons to change the value in A1, does anyone have any ideas?

Many Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Update - > It works once when I reapply the conditional formatting. Is it a calculation/refresh issue?
