Barry,
You method works somewhat. With a formula situation, the only cell that's affected is D14. With you method, the whole range D14:G14 is affected.
As stated in the question, only D14 should be affected but not the average range.

Hello Harry,
That's true
I assumed that morinia would want to format the whole range so that each value will be coloured according to whether it's above or below average.....
...perhaps I'm wrong but morinia seemed happy with that solution :)

In any case, after you solve that, use Conditional Formatting (new rule, based on formula, one for D14>-1, and one for D14 <0)
