Hey,

I consider myself to have a good understanding of conditional formatting, howwweevvveerrr...

I set up a very basic rule as a test: "$A2<33"
Values both greater and smaller get highlighted at random.
What could be causing this?
Maybe some faulty setting? Im honestly clueless

Google is not my friend

Its because the formula was set up so that it is testing the cell below the one that comes out highlighted. You must have been in cell A1 when you wrote the formula for $A2. Skim the highlight while looking at the cell below and you will see it.

As Hans Landa would say: thats a bingo!

Although what the hell, Excel? This is so f*** lame 😃

Thank you very much! Works now!

I'd try two things:

1. Clear all formating rules AND clear all color fills
2. Set the rule as =$A2"<"&"33"

Looking to hire a full-time digital media buyer. Junior to mid level.

We’re a smaller, specialized agency focusing in performance marketing for corporate innovation and growth stage startups (e.g Cameo, DUDE Products, etc)

You’d work directly with our VP of Growth Marketing and CGO, lots of hands on training.

Ideally in Chicago - we only work in office once a week. Not opposed to out of state remote, but can chat through and see if it’s a mutually fit setup.

DM me or reply if interested!
