Conditional formatting

Two part question.
1) Trying to apply colour fill conditional formatting to C8 when A8=”Visa” then use the fill down function to apply it to all the cells in the column.
2) Then z8 to =Sum of values in C that meet condition format colour fill

Have entered =if(A7=”Visa”,C7>0) in ‘Format values where this function is true’ believing it was a relative reference. But when I copy or use fill down it behaves as an Absolute Ref. ie remains A7=”Visa”,C7>0 and has not changed to A8=”Visa”,C8>0 and so on as I had expected.

Can any one help me? As you can tell I am a novice.

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook. Don't upload a picture when you have a workbook question. None of us is inclined to recreate your data. Upload the workbook and manually add an 'after' situation so that we can see what you expect. In addition clearly explain how you get the results..

H14: =SUMIF($D$4:$D$12,$M14,H$4:H$12)

Copy across and down

The only reason I can think of for that happening is if Calculation is set to Manual. On the Status bar it would say "Calculate". If it does, press F9.

Other than that, no idea. Post an example of the formula where that is happening and explain what key strokes you use to fill down.

I tend not to use fill down if there is formatting as I generally mess it up. I would generally copy the cell and the Paste Special | Formulas so that I just get the formula
