Hi

I tried to do the following:
  1. click Home on the ribbon,
  2. then Conditional Formatting,
  3. highlight cell rules,
  4. then equal to
  5. in the pop up box type the letter R (or A or G one at a time to highlight by traffic lights)
  6. click the drop down menu on the right & custom format
I watched a YouTube video where this works perfectly but in practice it goes wrong at stage 6. The drop down menu offers about half a dozen obscure fill colours but then there is no 'custom' option to select a red, amber/yellow/green from a full range of colours?

Can anyone explain why it is not appearing?

Thanks
Colin

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Are you sure that the video was for Excel online and not the desktop version?
