Table conditional formatting
Hi all, I am trying to compare a column which is an index match returned value to a static value cell. And highlight any variances in the index match column if different. =[@[Updated Departm...
A bit late to the discussion, but another way around this would be to wrap the structured references in the INDIRECT function when making use of a formula to determine the conditional formatting.
E.g. INDIRECT("[@[Updated Department]]")<>INDIRECT("[@Department]")
E.g. INDIRECT("[@[Updated Department]]")<>INDIRECT("[@Department]")
I would guess this to be the best long lasting . I might be wrong but If you use cell reference, you need to tweek it if you add or remove rows. On the other hand that is also true if you change column name of the table when using indirect.
Defined names that refer to structured references will stay in sync. as the table changes as well as being more acceptable to various antiquated corners of Excel such as conditional formatting.
