conditional formatting not working in every cell
So I have conditional formatting where a range will be filled in yellow if the value equals zero. No idea why, but cells b29:b40 and f29:f40 are not getting formatted. Is there some other formatting ...

This is the rule for conditional formatting of the cells with value zero:
=A1=0
This is the range to which formatting is applied:
=$A$1:$F$30
Maybe this is helpful for your task.

- mnirxAug 19, 2022Copper ContributorYou're a genius. Still annoying that the formatting is not taking place, but what I ended up doing was for each column, if the total is zero, then that range of cells will be yellow. Before it was just the range of cells needing to be zero.
Super frustrating that this was even an issue. Thank you so much. Your reply helped me figure out another workable solution.- mnirxAug 19, 2022Copper ContributorWelp, I was wrong. Now when I enter a value some of the cells still stay yellow, and this other "solution" did not work for column B. I guess something is wrong with this workbook. I cannot see any other cause other than an inherent problem with the workbook itself.

Can you attach a screenshot which shows the rule(s) for conditional formatting you currently work with along with the applies to ranges and the results in the worksheet (with row and column descriptions like the screenshot in my earlier reply)?
