    Conditional formating a coulmn to color cell results greater than zero

    I have a spread sheet with columns that have cells with formulas displaying result and section headers in text. I want to color the cells with results
    greater than zero. All my attempts have failed as my format seems to be unable to distinguish between the header cells and the formulated cells thus coloring all cells. Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Use the option to use a formula instead (it's the lowest in the list):


    =AND(ISNUMBER(reference),reference>0)

    That colored the Heading (text) cells but not the value cells.

    Matybe start in the row below the heading?

    Also, avoid using entire columns for CF ranges, it will slow your file down (I have a feeling this is what you did?)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
