    Color Scheme does not meet the criteria in conditional formatting

    Please advise why the color scheme of some cells do not meet the criteria. I used conditional formatting where all odd ending number is light blue while even ending number is dark blue. I wander why there are cells where the ending is even number and the color is light blue. Please see the attachment for better understanding. Thank you...

    Change all your formulae to start in B2. Not in B3.

    Suggest just two rules

    =AND(ISODD($B1),$B1<>"")

    and

    =AND(ISEVEN($B1),$B1<>"")

    Both apply to

    =$A:$F

    Re: Color Scheme does not meet the criteria in conditional formatting

    Don't do every single last value from 1 to 9. It's not elegant way to do.

    =RIGHT($B3)+0=1
    =RIGHT($B3)+0=2
    ...
    ...
    ...
    =RIGHT($B3)+0=9

    Try it like this:

    Select your whole range. Conditional Formatting

    =ISEVEN($B2) choose your color
    or
    =MOD($B2,2)=0



    =ISODD($B2) choose another color
    or
    =MOD($B2,2)=1

    hi jewellove, for odd numbers, this will do:
    =MOD($B2;2)

    can see that you've been working on all kinds of occasions.

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.
