    Question Formula only works on first cell specified in range

    Hello

    I am making a calendar for my band, and i have an overview page then a page for each month. What i want to happen is when i enter something on the detailed page it changes the fill of the according day on the overview. With the formula's i am using it is only working for the first cell and not the rest specified in the range.

    Here are my formulas

    =ISTEXT(January!B5:B52) (grey fill) applies to =$C$2
    =NOTISTEXT(January!B5:B52) (no fill) applies to =$C$2

    Can you attach a sample workbook with what you expect to be displayed?

    Attaching a workbook would be much more helpful. My eyes aren't what they used to be.

    Re: Formula only works on first cell specified in range

    maybe try =ISNONTEXT(value)

    something like (except UDF) NOTISTEXT doesn't exist or you forgot brackets: NOT(ISTEXT(value))

    The NOTISTEXT is just there to change it back to clear if we remove what was written, it is working on first cell only as well

    It's not necessary because if in cell will be nothing CF return value 0 so it means doesn't change color.
    CF works with TRUE or FALSE (1 or 0) and nothing more

    Try this as the only rule to replace the ones you have;

    Yes but it meant that if i cancelled or moved something i had to go change the colour back to blue or what ever manually, when you deleted text it would just unlock the colour allowing me to change it again, using the not, made it change it back

    That worked perfectly

    Do you know of any short cuts (i know excel is meant to be fairly good at learning) that would make applying that formula to each day quicker, or is it just slog through it

    I don't know, but I hope for your sake, since you have to have a rule for every single day.
