    Can you state your expected result?
    Your dropdown does not work for me and then there is a link to extral workbook in your Named Manager.

    the drop down list contains:

    < $1.0m potential P&L impact
    > $1.0m potential P&L impact

    Expected result should be that cell shades when drop down value of > $1.0m potential P&L impact is selected and an integer of less 1 million is input. Alternatively if < $1.0m potential P&L impact is selected from the drop down and an integer of greater than 1 million is input then the cell should also shade in the scenario.

    don't see a link between your formula & the question, but this does what you want in post # 3:
    =AND(OR(C5=$C$15,C5=$C$16),D5<$C$17)

    Apologies if i was unclear. I need the formula to work down the column not just for one line hence why I need to use the COUNTIF formula.

    Re: Conditional Formatting linking to cells

    Hi all

    My apologies if am not quite sure how much more clearer I can explain my issue.

    I have attached another workbook which sets out 3 scenarios in separate TABS.
    Scenario 1 and 2 the formula works.
    The 3rd scenario explains the issue and explains what my expected result should be.

    Thank you for your patience all.

    PS just updated the workbook as i noticed a few careless mistakes in my example. Should make sense now.
