    Trouble with Two conditional formating IFcell>0=color or IF cell blanck=color

    Hello All,

    I am having trouble getting two conditional formats to work, see attachment.

    First problem I am having is getting Row A14 through Q14 to color when A14 information greater than 0 is entered, I am trying to do rows A14 through A30 so any time information is entered that is greater then 0 that row will highlight. My current formula only highlights a few columns of that row (see attachment)

    Second question is I have tried to have rows A14:Q30 appear a different color if no information (the Cell is blank) then change color with the above information is entered

    Thanks in Advance, Jeff

    =IF(A14:A30>="0",TRUE,FALSE) is not the way to enter cf
    you need to enter
    =$a14>0 then copy the format along to q14 and down as far as you want
    for blank apply a second condition of
    =$a14="" and copy across and down
    see example attached

    Martindwilson,
    I entered the two formulas but the =$A$14>0 highlights everything that I highlight weather there is any information or not. I only want the rows to highlight if a number greater than 0 is entered.
    The =$A$14=”” works but if I highlight 30 rows and enter a number in the first row all the color goes away for all of the rows.
    please see attachment Need Help Conditional format.xlsm

    Thanks again, Jeff
