    Unhappy Conditional formatting from scanner

    HI, I am trying to use conditional formatting to make sure that bar codes created on a label match the correct numbers. Right now I have Column A with all of the numbers the scanned in codes should match, I have made it so the corresponding cells in column B are to turn red when the codes do not match, however for some reason only some of them are actually working when scanned in. Is there some specific format I can lock into each cell to make sure the check works?

    Thank you!

    Are the scan and the code to compare to in the same row of the sheet?

    If not then it's possible that you are using the wrong method to match the results.

    Without a sample file to see how you are trying to do it this could involve a lot of guesswork.
