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

F2F2=OR(1*RIGHT(FIXED(A2,2,1),2)>0,C2="N",D2="N",E2="N")

A2:E4Expression=OR(1*RIGHT(FIXED(A2,2,1),2)>0,C2="N",D2="N",E2="N")textNO
 
The dates are usually the last 3 days from today's day. So todays date is March 11, 2022. So, I would be looking at March 8, 9, 10, 11.
The maximum amount in column A would never be more than $10,000.
There is two files, so the date column with time would be in different columns.

Excel Facts

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
The dates are usually the last 3 days from today's day. So todays date is March 11, 2022. So, I would be looking at March 8, 9, 10, 11.
The maximum amount in column A would never be more than $10,000.
There is two files, so the date column with time would be in different columns.

Ok, we could check for the $ values for Not over something like 40000 ( which is a date value of 7/6/2009 )

But I think the better approach would be to check for the Date column.
In your 2 files, what are the Date Columns ?

So the two files for example, the A2 is the values and J2 for the values in the other file.
The date column would be in column C as per the example above and in column E for the other column in the other file.

Thanks for the info.

Change the A8 cell reference of CF formula for File 2 to the Starting cell of your File 2:

Solution
jtakw, that is a brilliant solution using the mod and column COLUMN(A8)<>5) for example to exclude columns. (y)
I used the formula and I was able to exclude two columns that have dates and times in columns.
I think this is correct?
