Hi :) The dynamic methods are more scalable (or just extend a little) and easier to replicate. Also the original question looked like it required a less static approach. With the static approach you need to remember to do 2 actions and try to remember what the reason/rule was for the different back-grounds. Each approach has pros/cons.
Anyway, congrats on solving the problem in the way that suits your own use-case the best :)) Regards from Tom :) On 4 July 2015 at 12:42, Rob Jasper <r...@famjasper.nl> wrote: > OK, in stead of an dynamic setting I reverted to manual setting (makes the > sheet faster too). > > I set autofilter on the column, selected all rows not empty, and set the > background color... > Simple and fast. > > Why do something dynamic if the data is not that dynamic. > > > > > On 3 jul. 2015, at 21:32, Rob Jasper wrote: > > > Andreas & Brian, > > > > thanks, that works great! > > > > Now I have another followup question: > > > > I already had a formatting for 2 colums where I set the number of digits > behind the decimal based on the formula MOD(F2,0.01)=0. > > This to make a Euro/dfl denomination look like 0.10 and 0.15, while the > real old values (e.g. 12.5 cents) display as 0.125 > > > > For those values which on have 2 digits after de decimal, the background > color doesn't display.. > > If I look at the conditions the first one is the one just added (Range > A2:AMJ3500; Formula ISNUMBER($H2).
