Hi All,

I have numerical values in column K and a currency text in column O (NZD, USD, AUD etc). I've included a dummy table below.

I want to have the numerical value in column K (Fee) formatted to a red font colour if the text in column O (Invoice Currency) on the same row is not NZD. The data has a varying number of rows.

I've tried the below code (see Column K format), but at the moment it's formatting all the values in column K to a red font colour. I'm assuming it has something to do with the formula in the conditional formatting statement. I thought using $O3 would mean it cycles down but I'm assuming I'll need to set a similar range.

I do have some code written for formatting Column O for a different set of parameters (see Column O format). This ideally will sit before the formatting for column K. I'm not sure if any of the code is useful for the column K formatting but thought I would paste it regardless. Both of these sections will be part of a larger code.

Can you please let me know where I'm going wrong?

Thanks in advance :)

Column K Format
VBA Code:
Sub TestingTextFormatting2()

Dim LRKcol As Long

    LRKcol = Cells(Rows.Count, "K").End(xlUp).Row

Dim rngrng As Range
Dim rngCell As Range
Set rngrng = Range("K3:K" & LRKcol)

For Each rngCell In rngrng
With rngCell
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:=" =$O3<>""NZD"" "
With .Font
.Color = vbRed
End With
End With

Next rngCell

End Sub

Column O Format
VBA Code:
Sub TestingTextFormatting()

Dim LROcol As Long
    
    LROcol = Cells(Rows.Count, "O").End(xlUp).Row

With Range("O3:O" & LROcol).FormatConditions.Add(xlTextString, TextOperator:=xlDoesNotContain, String:="NZD")
With .Font
.Color = vbRed
End With
End With

End Sub

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Because it's difficult to get the quotes right I always find it easier to build the format expression in a string and then use the string as the formula. You can do the whole range at once - you don't need to go cell by cell.

VBA Code:
Sub TestingTextFormatting2()
    Dim LRKcol As Long
    Dim formatCon As String
    Dim rngrng As Range
    LRKcol = Cells(Rows.Count, "K").End(xlUp).Row
    Set rngrng = Range("K3:K" & LRKcol)
    formatCon = "=$O3<>" & """NZD"""
    With rngrng
        .FormatConditions.Delete
        .FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:=formatCon
        With .FormatConditions(1).Interior
            .Color = vbRed
        End With
    End With
End Sub

Thanks for your help! I had seen solutions where the formula was built as a string but I couldn't get it to work haha.
