After deleting a record, my coditional formating goes from this "=MATCH(M12,($B$2:$F$2),0) to this "=MATCH(M12,(#REF!),0)" even though the records have shifted up into the pertinent cells!
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Did you delete row 2?

Note that you formula has a hard-coded absolute reference to row 2, so deleting that row will cause that to happen, as that row no longer exists, and there were no other rows in that range to start with.

Is there anyway to use OFFSET or something?

Please explain the structure of your data, how it is all laid out, the relationship between your ranges, what you may be deleting and why.
Also, exactly which range is the Conditional Formatting being applied to?

Unfortunately, that does not really answer the questions I asked.
You are going to need to explain it, if you want me to help you.

The numbers,B2:H2 are entered via the form! B2:G2 are compared to M12:Q16! If they match, the conditional format fills the matching fields blue. Also, If M12:Q12, M13:Q13....down to M16:Q16 cells in relative rows are blue and >=3 than Q40, 42, 44, 46 and/or 48 flag to True and Change the Yellow fields from "Nope to Winner" The same with Q50. Everything else is basically a manual function. Sheet 1 is the only pertinent sheet.

Try this:

=MATCH(M12,INDEX($B:$F,2,0),0)

That appears to have worked for the B2:F2 conditional. I tried this =MATCH(R12,INDEX($G,2,0),0) for the R12:R16 conditional but still getting #REF ! What am I missing? TIA

Try this:

=MATCH(M12,INDEX($B:$F,2,0),0)

You still need to repeat the column letter for one column:

=MATCH(R12,INDEX($G:$G,2,0),0)
