Excel formula help

Copper Contributor

I am trying to figure out if there is a formula I can put in conditional formatting to highlight cells in red when 2 0's appear in a row. Please see my example file (I have highlighted cells that I would like to automatically appear in red with the formula)

Any formula I have tried in the past is highlighting not only the 0 when it appears 2 times in a row, but also any other digit if it appears twice. 

 

Hopefully I have explained what I want to do, if not, I will try give more information.

Thanks Wyn. That looks like it should work as it works. I've just got to get it working in my original document. It seems to be thinking the M's and E's are 0's. I'll keep working with it.
