Conditional Formatting

[Gbonda]

Hello,

I was hoping to use conditional formatting to make a vlookup function that returns an #N/A turn red.

Thanks

Select the cell you want to appy the Conditional Formatting to and click Format>Conditional Formatting...

for Condition 1 select Formula Is: and enter this:

=ISNA($A$1)

Click Format and pick your color on the Font tab (or fill color from the Patterns tab) and click OK twice...

Of course adjust the cell reference $A$1 to meet your needs...

Does that work for you?

No it is not working. Any other ideas?

Trust me, if you followed my instructions, it WILL work. Are you sure your cell is returning a true #N/A result? Did you adjust the cell reference from $A$1 to the cell that has the VLOOKUP FORMULA?

What is your VLOOKUP formula?

Are you applying the CF to the cell with the VLOOKUP formula?

More details, please.

I stand corrected. Worked like a charm. Thanks for all your help.
