Hi everyone.
I know I will be told to 'get with the times' (which I am being forced to do anyway!) but I still use Excel 2003. I am having to transition a formula driven sheet to work in Excel 2010 and all the Conditional Formatting is lost when this is done (not big deal - I can put it all back in). The problem I am having is that what worked in 2003 does not work in 2010 - the latest version (to my mind) has regressed.
I have attached a much simplified version of the sheet (Book1.xls in 2003 version) with the CF formula part in cell B4 that does not work in 2010.
Book1.xls
I want to use the INDIRECT function in CF but 2010 returns an error "May not use reference operations (such as unions, intersections and ranges) or arrays blah blah........". I know there are other posts referring to this same message but I have not found one that solves what I want to do.
I basically want to reformat cell B4 when the COUNTIF value for letter "O" in a variable range of cells decided by [C4:INDIRECT(C2)], is >= cell E2.
It works perfectly in 2003.
I know there are other ways to do it, but they are clumsy - is there a tidy way of accomplishing this?
All help appreciated.
Regards.
