I have just looked into using this function. I can easily use it for a "cell value", but am confused with the "function is".

I have a cell that has a formula in it which returns either PASS or REPEAT. I want to conditionally format (with another color) when the formula returns REPEAT.

Probably very simple...

If your formula is in cell B1, then use the following formula for conditional formatting

=B1="Repeat"

and provide the associated formatting

Duh!!! Thanks!!!!
Is there any way to copy just the conditional formatting and not the formulas in the cell? The cells are obviously not near each other...
