I am finding that using the "not between" function in conditional formatting
works exactly the opposite of expected. In other words if I format the cell
to if cell value is "not between" 1 and 10 highlight it yellow. If 7 is in
the cell it becomes yellow. If 15 is in the cell it is not yellow.

Note that the 1 and 10 in the example are cell references in my spreadsheet.

Am I the only one or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

If you mean that you have two cell references in the two dialog windows eg
=D1
then it works for me as expected. Remove the quotes from arounf the cell
reference is XL puts them in.

Are the numbers in the cells just typed in values or do they result from
formulas.
If formula, please give example
I cannot reproduce you problem; you may email me (my private email, not
group) a copy of your file.
