Excel VBA Runtime Error 13 - Type Mismatch

Hi all,

I have a VBA script which is designed to conditional format certain cells based on another cells dropdown selection however every time i run it i get the runtime 13 error. Now i know the formula is a big one within this macro however i've been told this is the only way I can get excel to conditionally format using this formula. Can someone help?

I am using excel 2003 if that helps anyone. Thanks

however the conditional format formula does not complete it's action so the cells stay the same.

Different problem. For that we'd probably need to see the workbook. Maybe mark this as solved, because it is, and start a new thread.
