    Conditional Formatting for a multiple of a number

    I'm trying to figure out how to get a cell to turn red if the number entered is not a multiple of a certain number, for example, 20.

    I'm dealing with items on a pallet and my suppliers always seem to miscount, so this would just a little double check for myself.

    Thanks for the help!

    welcome to the forum. select the range you want to apply to (say from A2:A10)
    go to Home -> Conditional Formatting -> New Rule -> Use a formula to determine which cells to format -> Format values where this formula is true:
    =MOD(A2,20)

    20 can also be referred to another cell
