Hi,

Screenshot 2023-10-02 at 10.12.13.png


I have an issue with conditional formatting in a cell. I want cell Q2 to turn orange (and font to turn black) if the range Q3:Q10002 contains any errors. I have used =ISERROR($Q$3:$Q$10002) and applied it to $Q$2, but this isn’t working for some reason. Where am I going wrong with this, please?

Thanks in advance!

Olly.

Similarly, In R2 I am using I am using =COUNTIF($R$3:$R$10002,"No") to identify if any cells contain 'No', but I have now realised that I also need to cater for errors too. Would there be a way to add something in to that formula, so that R2 highlights if R3:R10002 contains 'No' OR an error?

Excel Formula:
=OR(COUNTIF($R$3:$R$10002,"No"),SUMPRODUCT(--ISERROR($R$3:$R$10002))>0)
try this one
