Aaron- If you leave the limit field blank or put any number in it, the conditional formatting feature will evaluate the entry and perform as it is supposed to. However, if you put a text entry into the limit field, such as "N/A" or "none" (without the quotes) conditional formatting sees a text entry and will not apply the formatting.

I am looking at a value in A1 and if any values in the row are greater than that value, i am colouring it in. This part I am able to do. There are some rows which have no limit - hence no value, how do i set the format that if the limit value is blank, then do not apply the format to the row, or apply a format the same as the general data Below is an example - the * indicates the values with the format applied to them Limit Oct Nov Dec 10 15* 4 20* 20 5 100 90 34 89 120* Thanks Aaron ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
