that's the sort of thing it gets confusing with

i can do the nice simple stuff like l;earn what does what in one cell to another and then copy it for other cells, but it's the original getin i to work that does my tits in

for example, i have no idea what "if()" means althuogh i will hazard a guess that it may me that if there is a certain letter in the ( and the ) then a certain formula will be going on, but can you do that multiple times?

conditioning format only allowes me to do it 3 times for the sheet otherwise i would have used that
