    Conditional Formats Not Reading Cell Value

    Hi,

    My conditional format compares H4 to I4 (relative) and if they are not the same in value highlights the cells red. The formatting works for every cell except cell I4.

    I can't work out why; any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanx.

    Oscar.

    Hi, the value in I4 is:
    1373.09388950276
    and the value in H4 is:
    1373.09
    so they are not the same

    I'd suggest either cleaning up the data so the values are the same or putting a round function into your conditional format rule. i.e.
    =(round(H4,2)<>round(I4,2))
