    Conditional formatting challenge

    Can anyone explain to me why the AAPL worksheets operates correctly but the STMP does not?

    Thank you

    Re: Conditional formatting challenge

    The way you have set up the conditional formatting is a little unusual.

    In both sheets, your formatting rule that turns the cell red checks for a match with cell $C$8. In AAPL, cell $C$8 contains a down arrow. So all cells with a down arrow turn red. On sheet STMP, cell $C$8 contains an up arrow, so all the up arrows turn red.

    I would fix this by referring to Sheet2!$A$226 instead of $C$8.

    I had to guess what you meant by "correctly." Next time, tell us what you expect to happen, and what is wrong with what is actually happening.
