Conditional Formatting borders around cells with formulas

[oam]

I am trying to add conditional formatting borders and to highlight every other row around all cells containing data (A3:N100) but the conditional formatting see the formulas in the cells and adds borders around the entire range (A3:N100).Is there a way to add conditional formatting borders and to highlight every other row around cells only containing data?

Thank you for any and all help I am running Excel 2007

Slightly re-jigging some old code which I used to spot cells with formulae, instead of selecting them, I added a border (which is what you seem to want). Its no beautiful code, but works. Just don't select the entire sheet, 'cos it'll go through every cell to check them all.

Sub HasFormulas2()
Dim Addrss As String
If TypeName(Selection) <> "Range" Then
    MsgBox "Please select a valid Range to use this Function", vbOKOnly, "Cool Tools !!"
    Exit Sub
End If
Select Case Selection.HasFormula
Case True
    MsgBox "All cells in the selected range have formulas", vbOKOnly, _
        "Does this range have formulas ?"
Case False
    MsgBox "All cells in the selected range do not have formulas", vbOKOnly, _
        "Does this range have formulas ?"
Case Else
'    MsgBox "Some of the cells in the selected range have formulas", vbOKOnly, _
'        "Does this range have formulas ?"
    Addrss = ""
    For Each sell In Selection
        If sell.HasFormula Then
            If Addrss = "" Then
                Addrss = sell.Address
            Else
                Addrss = Addrss & "," & sell.Address
            End If
        End If
    Next
    Range(Addrss).Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous
End Select
End Sub

ashleymoore,

Thank you your response but it is not what I was looking for, I had to use another method.

I do appreciate you responding, thank you

It'd be good to know the approach you used. Can you outline please?
thanks,
Ashley

I used code to copy values from one worksheet to another. This allowed the conditional formatting to work properly due to no formulas in the cells.Hope this helps.
