Default Conditional Formatting Issue

Fernando:

Thanks for your response

The condition is set as ="ar3<0"

I don't have the $ in the formula. If i am supposed to use another form of reference, what
would I use to refer to ar3, and then have copy to the next row as ar4 etc?

Regards

John

Hi Jhon

Build the condition without $ in the rows, the format conditional by default
work with absolute references.

Hi:

I have another "I need to do something but don't know exactly how" issue

I have a field which I wish to show up in red when the value of another

field in the same
row changes from 0 to 1. This is clearly conditioning formatting, with a

formula.

However this field is part of an extensive list, and I want to apply the

same conditional
logic to all fields in the column on the list. The formula for a cell in

row 140 would be"
=AR140<0". This works just fine on the single row 140. My problem is that

I want this to
apply to all items in the table, and when I copy and paste, the formula

always points to
AR140, rather than the row in column AR relating to the row the formula is

copied to.

Is there some way to set up conditional formatting so that it can be

copied to a bunch of
cells and have the formula point to the other cells IN ITS OWN ROW?

I hope I am clear on this.

Thanks in advance

John Baker
