    Conditional Formatting not working on specfic cells

    Hi,


    Having problems with conditional formatting. On Cell D338, I've tried everything and not sure why it does not work. From the Cell D, I would like to copy the formula across.

    E.g change the list to Spanish it should change the colour of the 11 cells and the one currently on would change colour but it does not.

    Any help on why this is not working?
    Thank you

    Change the rule to this:

    =COUNTIF($D$339:$E$351,"Spanish")>0

    Nope, I'm sure I already seen it, but can't seem to find it, so I thought I'd ask politely.
    And I remember answering : "lots of colours and lots of merged cells"

    Ah, OK - not another forum, but there is a duplicate. This follow-on question needs to be asked there.

    Administrative Note:

    Unfortunately, this is a duplicate thread, and you are allowed only ONE thread per issue here.

    Please see Forum Rule #5 about thread duplication.

    I am closing this thread, but you may continue here in the original thread:https://www.excelforum.com/excel-general/1332859-conditional-formatting-help.html

    That was a completely different user.
