Conditional Formatting - 2 conditions

[LorrieM]

Excel 2003
The cell to conditionally format is a reference name. The reference name
will not always be valid
I would like to format on 2 conditions, one as an error (to format as blank)
when the reference name does not exist, and second to format without the
error.
I am successful on the first condition with the following:
Formula Is =ISERROR(#NAME?) with font color of white
I can not get the second condition to work. Nothing I have tried overrides
the first condition. (The referenced name is valid, but formatting does not
change.)
Any suggestions on what the second condition would like?

Assuming you are trying to highlight cell A1
=ISERROR(#NAME?)
is always true hence your second condition is not being evaluated
use
=ISERROR(A1)
it will be true if A1 has #NAME? error, false otherwise
