It is not a very good answer, when you say I tried and you can't get it to
work, what happened? Nothing? Got an error message? PC exploded? Select the cell, do formatconditional formatting, cell value is greater than or equal to 5, click format button and select the formatting, click OK, click add button, repeat but use less than 5, format, click OK twice. If the value is 5 and you don't want any formatting change the first to cell value greater than 5 -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Deb" wrote in message ...

Hi Deb!
Select the cell Format Conditional formatting Cell Value Is Select: "greater than" 0.5 Press Format button Click Pattern tab Select your colour OK Press Add Cell Value Is Select: "less than" 0.5 Press Format button Click pattern tab Select your colour OK OK Note that 0.5 will not be coloured because it is not greater than 0.5 or less than 0.5. If you don't intend this, then vary the condition that you select or give it a third conditional format. -- Regards Norman Harker MVP (Excel) Sydney, Australia Excel and Word Function Lists (Classifications, Syntax and Arguments) available free to good homes.
