Formula in Conditional Formatting in the format $A2:$D2 (only columns locked)

Good day.

I have managed to get my named range "Data_Range_1" to equal $E2:$H2 (only columns are locked) but when I try to use the "Data_Range_1" named range in a conditional formatting formula, it does not work as intended - it seems to revert back to $E$2:$H$2, based on what I can see with the cells being highlighted in the range.

My pivot table changes, based on the category selected in a slicer, so I need the conditional formatting range (with only the column locked) to dynamically change with it, which it is not, despite the Data_Range_1 value being what I want it to be.

I have been searching hours for a solution without any luck...

Any assistance in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Jason

Hi,
Conditional formatting using relative addressing is generally buggy in VBA unless you select the range to which you are applying the CF first, so I would start with that.

If it still doesn't work, then please post a sample workbook.

No problem, Jason, we all have to start somewhere

Did you try amending the code to just select the first row of the pivot table data before applying the CF?

Perhaps this
