    Conditional formatting not working on some cells that are covered by it.

    Hi,

    I've attached the sheet I'm working on.

    Basically it's a training log,

    If training has taken place in the last year cell green
    If taken place longer than a year ago or cell is blank in a row that has a name to it in column 'C', then it turns red
    If training has taken place between 11 months and 12 months ago it'll go yellow to indicate its due soon.
    If column 'C' has no name in it then the cells remain normal/blank/empty.

    The conditional formatting I set up works for most of the sheet but as can been seen there are odd cells where its not working at all.

    Any ideas or help will be greatly appricated.

    Thanks

    Attachment on this post is now also the tidied up sheet.

    the cell ref. doesn't suit like this one

    =AND(E11>=TODAY()-333,A11<=TODAY())

    should be E11
    check all CF formulas
    I think people forget the word "THANK YOU!!!!" Do you still know it???

    There is a little star ( ADD REPUTATION ) below those person who helped you. Click it to say your "PRIVATE APPRECIATION TO THEIR EFFORT ON THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS "

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply, but that doesn't fix anything. to be honest that was a left over condition from some fixes i was trying, and forgot to clear that one. It can be deleted and will make no difference as (apart from that mistake) its the same as another condition.

    before other's look at your problem can you edit your uploaded file and clean it use sample data not real data. thanks and maybe indicate those "odd" cells not returning correct Conditional formatting

    thanks.

    Re: Conditional formatting not working on some cells that are covered by it.

    Ok here's the new sheet, all the cells that are white that have a date in them have a problem, and all the cells that are on a row where there is a name in column c, that are white and blank, have a problem.

    As I tidied the sheet up I did notice that what I do to a cell in one column effects the cell on the same row but 2 columns down.

    ie I removed n/a from E15 and G15 turned white when it was (and should have been) red.

    thanks
