    Conditional Formatting not working as expected

    My workbook uses conditional formatting rules to color cells background depending on values in other cells, however some cells show a black background - The conditional format rules do not select that coloring.

    The original workbook is very large and I couldn't attach it so I made a smaller version (attached). There are many invalid references with that smaller version but the conditional formatting problem is there as well.

    The offending cells are:

    U38:Z39
    U41:Z42
    AD38:AL39

    I appreciate any help to resolve.

    Thank you

    Those cells have been manually coloured.
    Highlight them all, right click and select "No Fill".
