Windows 10 / Excel 2010
I have used conditional formatting successfully in the past but this simple test of whether a value is not zero is not working (see attachment). I want to highlight non-zero values in a long list on a more complex spreadsheet (the one shown is only a simplified version) in 'red' font. I cannot get this to work and would be grateful for any help.

No need to use a formula!
Use the second rule option (format only cells that contain) and change the drop-down to 'Cell value NOT equal to', then type 0 in the value box. Save and apply.

Many thanks for the quick reply - the method you suggested worked. Do you know why the formula method did not work?
The equivalent formula rule would need to be this:
=$A1<>0
If that takes care of your original question, please select Thread Tools from the menu link above and mark this thread as SOLVED. Thanks.
Thanks, that would work (I have used your original suggestions).
Yes, it WILL work.
Glad to have helped!
