Hi all

I have this conditional format in cell BB35
=IF(BB35>$BB$37,TRUE)

If I insert cells between BB35 & BB37, then the
formula changes to =IF(BB35>$BB$38,TRUE)

Is there a way of making BB37 absolute,
or is there a formula using ROW that I could use?

Many thanks

Select cell B35
Choose Format>Conditional Formatting
From the first dropdown, choose Formula Is
In the formula box, type:  =B35>INDIRECT("$B$37")
Click the Format button and select your formatting
Click OK, click OK

The formula should be:    =BB35>INDIRECT("BB37")

Yes, I did have the sense to alter that!
