    conditional formatting

    Hallo! I set conditional formatting in the cells in red.

    Untitled.jpg

    The problem is that, when the formula in the conditional formatting is not true (i set the number 5 in cell A94, so it is not blank), then only the first row of the 3 gets white (while all 3 of the rows whould be white, since the conditional formatting applies to A94:C96)

    Untitled2.jpg

    This is solved if in the formula is set $A$94 instead of $A94, but this is not convenient for me in other functions.

    Is there another solution?

    Re: conditional formatting

    If I'm not mistaken, the formula you provide is used to check each cell in the range provided in the "Applies to" and then highlights only the ones that match that condition.

    If you can provide a sample file im sure others can chime in and help.
    If you find the suggestion or solution helpful, please consider adding reputation to the post.

    Re: conditional formatting

    So just to be clear, in the file you provided, if anything is entered into any cell within the range (A1:C3) that whole range is to be cleared of color?

    if so check this update to your file.

    Re: conditional formatting

    I want that when A1 is blank, then A1:C3 is colored.

    When A1 has a number, then A1:C3 is non color filled.

    Re: conditional formatting

    Thanks, but i know that solution.
    As i wrote in my initial post

    This is solved if in the formula is set $A$94 instead of $A94, but this is not convenient for me in other functions.

    Is there another solution?
    In other words, i don't want the formula of the conditional formatting to have a $ before the cell number.

    Re: conditional formatting

    Can you provide a better sample file, one that has additional scenarios that you are trying to account for?

    Re: conditional formatting

    Νο, i just want that simple conditional formatting describes in the initial message.
    The problem is that i can't copy paste these cells, without needing to change the cell in the conditional formatting formula, where the $A$1 stays during paste.
