Conditional formatting with IF statements

[Eric D]

Is there a way that I can use conditional formatting with an IF statement?

What I want to happen is, if in column D there appears a number that has an
opposite match (i.e. 500 and -500) that it highlights those. Is this
possible and if so, how?

Thanks

Select column D and crate Conditional formatting with this formula:
=NOT(ISERROR(MATCH(-D1,D,0)))

Stefi

Thanks Stefi, this works great but is there a way for it to not highlight
cells that are blank?

=AND(D1<>"",ISNUMBER(MATCH(-D1,D,0)))

Thanks Bob, is there anyway I can get it to ignore blank cells?
right now if a cell is blank it thinks its value is 0, so is there a way to
get it to not color cells that are left blank?

Sorry, I forgot to change ref A to D:
=AND(D1<>0,NOT(ISERROR(MATCH(-D1,D,0))))
