    Post conditional format query

    Hi,

    In a range I have a conditional format to colour cell if = "H" but when I delete the cell contents the colour still remains, I don't know why this has started to happen i'm sure before the cell returned to a no fill status.

    Any ideas?

    Erm ... No!

    Please attach the workbook.

    Perhaps it has previously been formatted with a colour. Have you tried applying a 'No Fill' to the cell.

    1. Are your formulas set to Calculate Automatically?

    File>Options>Formulas


    2. The only other idea i can think of is maybe adding VBA to update your screen

    Give me a cell reference. K34 works fine.

    It is your end, then - nothing to do with the workbook as far as I can see.
