TLDR; seems like CF thinks my formula with named range is an array, and I want it to function like a flat formula.



Long time lurker, first time poster!



I have been creating nice elaborate conditional formatting formulas for a while now. However, I have always had a challenge when using these with named ranges. The formulas work great when in a cell, but when placed into CF, they fail.



Perhaps my issue is related to the way in which CF seems to already identify these formulas as arrays. Perhaps somebody can help me understand how best to overcome this issue. I'll link a document for illustration.



So when I place escalating numbers in A1:J1, and place in A2:J2 this formula



=IF(TheNums>4,TRUE,FALSE)


then E2:J2 all come back TRUE. Placing the same formula into CF comes back all FALSE. If I enter the same formula as an array with CSE, I get FALSE all across.



Can somebody help with my syntax to hopefully stop this from failing?



Thanks so much!

Try this method will help you to apply Conditional Formatting for the Row:



Note:




  • This solution is based on the attached Drop
    Box image.

  • This solution will work on single Row data
    only.


enter image description here



How it works:





  • Enter this Array (CSE) Formula in Cell A2,
    fill it Right, Press F2 & finish with
    Ctrl+Shift+Enter.



    {=IF(Mydata1>4,TRUE,FALSE)}



  • Mydata1 is Named Range (A1:G1).


  • Select both Rows (A1:G2), reach to
    Conditional Formatting, New Rule.


  • Apply this Formula.=A2=TRUE & an appropriate
    Color Format, finish with Ok.
