I'm trying to incorporate conditional formatting into a spreadsheet. It
seems the formulas are absolute references. (ie) I want to set up the
condition for cell A1 based on B1, then copy it to the following cells
with A2 referencing B2 and A3 referencing B3. It seems the fomulas are
always set to $A$1. Is there a way to change this?
