I have already defined a rule within conditional formatting -
He does not work for me, why? What's wrong with the formula I wrote?
Thanks

Hi Lea,

The outcome in J1 is TRUE or FALSE. So in your conditional formatting you have to take that and not 1 and also not text quotes or so.

The formula is =$J$1=TRUE and that'll work.
