Hello,

I have this question MOS 2013 exam (I have Excel 2013):
fill all cells in the column that contain values of more than $100 with bright yellow.

My problem is the following: if i set conditional formatting like: Cell Value > 100, then it works but the first cell will be also yellow (the first cell in the column is a text, contains: ExtendedPrice).
So not just the values which are bigger than 100 will be yellow, but this header too. I can solve this by using this formula in conditional formatting for Column F: =AND(NOT(ISTEXT(F1));F1>100)

My question is, what should I do in a case like this, which is the better solution based on the excercise.
As far as I know MOS exams are corrected by computer, so I am afraid of that there is only one good solution.
Thanks!

First I would like to remark to be careful with MOS 2013 questions on a forum because of associated non disclosure agreements.

Otherwise I would opt for either keeping F1 out of the range for conditional formatting or state your formula in a positive manner:

Code:
=AND(ISNUMBER(F1);F1>100)

Apparently you are using ";" as a delimiter, usually on this forum it's "," (I'm using ";" as well...).

Thanks for your answer, actually, it is a sample question which is familiar to a MOS question, but anyway thanks for your comment.
