I'm having trouble understanding what the equation is intended to do.

=$B2:$C2=FALSE

Just fiddling with it, it seems to conditionally format if, and only if, Column B is FALSE.

At any rate, the equation will expand if you insert a column between B and C rather than to the right of C.

Also, since you are only formatting A, I don't believe the dollar signs ($) are necessary though they should not affect the calculation. (Don't take my word on it.)

Thank you for your reply. I've worked around this. My first post was misleading, sorry.

Here is the solution I have longed for: (take a look if anyone reading my post is interested)
