Conditional format question

R

Richard

When I select and conditional format column A, and then when I conditional
format column B using some of the same cells in column A the conditional
formatting no longer works for the other column. Here's my formula for column
A:
=OR(LEFT($F$1,1)="5",$O$1=5000)
Here's my formula for column B:
=OR(LEFT($F$1,1)="10",$O$1=10000)
If column A criteria is met, everything works fine
If column B is met then column A stops working

Never said it would! If you read what I had written Column A has "5" Column B
has "10"

What do you think you are saying with that formula:
=OR(LEFT($F$1,1)="10",$O$1=10000)
?

Richard,

I think I supplied you with the original formula. With your amendment
you are obviously trying to look at two characters, but LEFT($F$1,1)
will only look at one character - change it to LEFT($F$1,2).

Hope this helps.

Pete
