"B3" has a COUNTA function in it and I want to have a it change colors when it is >=5. Easy enough, except it always stays green because of the function in it.

Use COUNTIF instead

Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
Jesus Special-K, you have no idea how long that has annoyed me. I believe I even posted on here months back and never got a sufficient answer like this! I basically just had other conditional formatting that superseded it keep the color the way it should be.
Thank you!
TMS- thank you, but COUNTA works because I am just counting the non-empty cells next to it.
You're welcome.
Ditto :-)
