Conditional Formatting a series of numbers
My son figured it out for me. =INDEX does work! I needed to erase the COLUMN (because it was an array within a single column) and I had to make the array by clicking and dragging from the top of the spreadsheet instead of just the series itself. I have NO idea why that is important but it works so for those who may need help with this here is the formula that worked for me =INDEX($F$1:$F$500,ROW()-1) In this case the $F$1:$F$500 represents the column the number series appears in. The series doesn't start until row 40 something but now any numbers through row 500 will conform to the formatting. Alternately, you could simply select the top of the row (row F in the above example) as the array). I am glad I was able to answer this question (literally) in house and and pass along the information to you.
