Hi everyone,
I get this a lot and cant work out,
I have some conditional foramting coodes and when run on there own work great but when run one after the other I get conditions not set for the last ones?
how can I stop this?

my codes are

VBA Code:
Sub cond2()

Dim MyRange As Range
Set MyRange = Range("C:C")
MyRange.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=IF($C1=""No Description!"",TRUE)"
MyRange.FormatConditions(1).Font.Color = RGB(192, 0, 0) 'red
MyRange.FormatConditions(1).Interior.Color = RGB(255, 255, 0) 'yellow
MyRange.FormatConditions(1).Borders.Color = RGB(192, 0, 0)
MyRange.FormatConditions(1).StopIfTrue = False

MyRange.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=IF($BH1="""",FALSE,IF($BH1=FALSE,TRUE))"
MyRange.FormatConditions(2).Font.Color = RGB(192, 0, 0) 'red
MyRange.FormatConditions(2).Interior.Color = RGB(250, 230, 215) 'light red
MyRange.FormatConditions(2).Borders.Color = RGB(192, 0, 0)
MyRange.FormatConditions(2).StopIfTrue = False
End Sub

Sub cond5()
Dim MyRange As Range
Set MyRange = Range("A:A")
MyRange.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=IF($BF1="""",FALSE,IF($BF1=FALSE,TRUE))"
MyRange.FormatConditions(1).Font.Color = RGB(192, 0, 0) 'red
MyRange.FormatConditions(1).Interior.Color = RGB(250, 230, 215) 'light red
MyRange.FormatConditions(1).Borders.Color = RGB(192, 0, 0)
MyRange.FormatConditions(1).StopIfTrue = False
End Sub

Sub cond10()
Dim MyRange As Range
Set MyRange = Range("A11:G500")
MyRange.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=ISEVEN($AZ11)"
MyRange.FormatConditions(1).Interior.Color = RGB(240, 240, 240) 'light grey
MyRange.FormatConditions(1).Borders(xlTop).Color = RGB(220, 220, 220)
MyRange.FormatConditions(1).StopIfTrue = False

MyRange.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=ISODD($AZ11)"
MyRange.FormatConditions(2).Interior.Color = RGB(230, 230, 230) 'light grey
MyRange.FormatConditions(2).Borders(xlTop).Color = RGB(220, 220, 220)
MyRange.FormatConditions(2).StopIfTrue = False
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
You need to set your Conditional Formatting priorities!

It looks like you cond10 code is overwriting the cond5 code, as they are both set to priority 1, and overlap in their ranges (A11:A500).

so do i just change them to 3 and 4?
or is there a way to say set as last? I always do my formating in the order i want them to be?
thanks

That would be one way.

Really, you should sit down and plan it all out.
What are the different rules you have?
What ranges should they appear in?
What order should they apppear in?

Once you have that "roadmap" completed, that will guide you in how you need to set it up.
