I am trying to use conditional formatting using a formula with a range. I am not getting the results that I want. Can you use a formula with a range for conditional formatting:
The condition is numbers with the last two numbers after the decimal point that end in a odd number and any cell that has N.

Book1
ABCDEF
1What I am getting
2156.23NYNTRUE
3180NNN
4192.56YYN
5
6What I want
7156.23NYN
8180NNN
9192.56YYN
Sheet1
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
F2F2=OR(1*RIGHT(FIXED(A2,2,1),2)>0,C2="N",D2="N",E2="N")
Cells with Conditional Formatting
CellConditionCell FormatStop If True
A2:E4Expression=OR(1*RIGHT(FIXED(A2,2,1),2)>0,C2="N",D2="N",E2="N")textNO
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
Try:

Book1
ABCDEF
2156.23NYNTRUE
3180NNN
4192.56YYN
Sheet14
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
F2F2=OR(1*RIGHT(FIXED(A2,2,1),2)>0,C2="N",D2="N",E2="N")
Cells with Conditional Formatting
CellConditionCell FormatStop If True
A2:F4Expression=OR(A2="N",ISNUMBER(FIND(RIGHT(FIXED(A2,2)),"13579")))textNO


Do you really want A4/A9 highlighted since it ends in an even number?

The condition is numbers with the last two numbers after the decimal point that end in a odd number and any cell that has N.
In listing your conditions, you used AND (meaning, both conditions must be met).
But in your formula, you are using OR, which means only one of those conditions must be met.)
If you truly meant AND, then you should be using an AND formula, and not an OR one.

Sorry, I gave the wrong explanation for the fixed formula.
I wrote the conditional formatting formula based only on numbers that are not .00 after the decimal point.
So 156.23 or 192.56, I want highlighted, but not 180.00 or any number after the decimal point that ends in .00
Eric W or Joe4, Will that change the formula above?
My apologies once again.

Thanks jtakw. It is highlighting the correct columns, but also an additional column I don't want highlighted.
I went back to my work data and it is highlighting a column that has a date and time in the cell. I wonder why that is?

Date and Time values are Numbers in Excel, that's the reason, you should've shown that in OP.

I'll look into it.

EDIT: How large could the numbers be in Column A ?

Thanks jtakw for the explanation. You are completely correct. Based on your answer, yes the date and time would have numbers after the decimal point.

I edited my post above.

How large can the numbers be in Column A.
And, what are the typical Date values in Column C, (e.g. Year 2000 and later, etc.)

Another question, are the Date values Only in Column C, in your actual data, if so, this would work:
