Sat CH and PNO are the same people which means the cell is CH/PNO
User

on saturday is CH/PNO treated as to separate inputs. Both CH and PNO not CH/PNO
Excelchat Expert
29/05/2018 - 08:25
I'm sorry?
Excelchat Expert
29/05/2018 - 08:26
My apologies, I think you have asked to format the cells based on value reached.
Excelchat Expert
29/05/2018 - 08:27
I can't relate the statement "on saturday is CH/PNO treated as to separate inputs. Both CH and PNO not CH/PNO" to the formatting problem

E11 CH/PNO does this count in totals?
Excelchat Expert

I'm sorry, if you also want me to count the words in the range above, please let me know. Otherwise I don't know what you mean.
