I want to put CF in a cell where i have implemented a formula
ABC
1QuantitySold QuantityRemaining Quantity
21239
3330
434-1

<tbody>
</tbody>

I had put formula at C ---> A2-B2...
A3-B3
A4-B4...

Because C3 is 0, CF should turn the whole row to color Red
and Because C4 is -1 ( a negative value ), CF should also give it the same color, Red... but how to do it ?
I used =$C3<=0 But it messes up my whole sheet if I do any modifications in tables... https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8Cv2clkGPzFbXhSQkpoN0VhMlk/view?usp=sharing
this happens...
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.

Your image doesn't convey much, but maybe try this formula in C2:

=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(A2),ISNUMBER(B2)),A2-B2,"")

Hi select A2 to C4 then go to conditional formatting > New Rule. Select the option "Use a formula to determine which cells to format" over ther type the below:

=($C2<=0)

Then define the formatting you would like to see applied to selected area cells

Will let U kno if any problem arises. . .

With the CF i used last time this was the problem... I thought its better to bring it to Your knowledge so this doesn't happen again . . .

Ok... Il put this as a formula ---> =IF(AND(ISNUMBER([@[Total Pcs.]]),ISNUMBER([@[Sold Pcs.]])),[@[Total Pcs.]]-[@[Sold Pcs.]],"")... right?

=($F5<=0) as conditional formatting on all rows i want to turn red...right?

In F5:

=IF(AND(ISNUMBER([@[Total Pcs.]]),ISNUMBER([@[Sold Pcs.]])),[@[Total Pcs.]]-[@[Sold Pcs.]],"")

In your sample workbook, I amended the formula in F5 to the one I gave you and the cells in that table were no longer highlighted red. So that's all you need to do.
