    INDIRECT in conditional format

    In cell E5 I have the following conditional format formula that I will drag down to E53. I need help revising it so that checks if the condition is true in cell P59, AO59, BN 59 ect..

    Can anyone help with this?

    =INDIRECT("$59"&COLUMN(A1)*25+16)>=$O$4

    Re: INDIRECT in conditional format

    I might be wrong but given the values in E4:E53 equate to the % values of P59, AO59 etc already you can simply use the contents and compare to O4, no ?

    With E4:E53 selected rule applied is:

    =$E4>=$O$4

    That would work but I am going to add more complicated rules so I need it in my initial format. Are you familar with how to revise it?

    Well I confess I don't understand how additional rules changes things (at all) but to answer your question - just replicate the INDEX you've used already in E4:E53

    Re: INDIRECT in conditional format

    The reason why it gets more complicated is because in the range E4:E53 I also need to add the following conditional format formula. I want to be able to have one formula that I can drag down the range E4:E53 so that I can avoid having the type out the following formulas multiple times. Is this clear? Thanks

    In E4..

    =(AND(Q59>$O$4,(Q59-O59)>$O$3))

    In E5...

    =(AND(AQ59>$O$4,(AQ59-AO59)>$O$3))

    In E6..

    =(AND(BP59>$O$4,(BP59-BN59)>$O$3))

    ect...

    Re: INDIRECT in conditional format

    Yes and no.

    I understand the logic but the ranges in your latest post are inconsistent.

    For ex. previously you mentioned P, AO, BN etc with a consistent step of 25 - now you mention Q, AQ, BP which has an inconsistent step.

    Did you perhaps mean either of Q, AP & BO or Q, AQ & BQ (with O, AO & BO for subtraction) ?

    For the sake of demo. assuming you meant Q, AQ & BQ (step of 26) then:

    If the steps are inconsistent then things become convoluted.
