    Conditional Formatting of one cell based on values in a column

    Help please, this is really frustrating me

    I have a time in cell I1 - When I put a single figure greater than 0 in any cell between I2 & I30 I want cell I1 to change colour.

    I can get I1 to change colour if I put a figure into I2 it but not if I put the figure in any other cell in the column - I have tried =$I$2:$I$30>0 and tried moving the $ around but to no avail which is making me think I have taken completely the wrong approach.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Try this...

    =COUNTIF($I$2:$I$30,">0")

    If the result is any number other than 0 the format will be applied.
