It deletes the entire row including data and conditional formatting. I need
to copy/paste as there is data in the first and last columns that needs to
stay put.

Say I have a 5x5 A-E,1-5 sheet. I need the data in A1 and A5 to stay, I
need the data from A2-A4 to go, I need the conditional formatting of Row A to
stay, the data from B2-E4 to go up one row (B2-4 becomes A2-4, etc.), and the
text formatting within B2-E4 to remain unchanged. As it is now, the text
formats when I copy/paste is not kept, red sometimes changes to green and so
forth depending on what was green/red in the rows above it.

I'm not sure I fully understood the question - but what happens if you place
the cursor above the gray label #1 (at the far left of row 1) until it
becomes a black arrow, pointing right, then right click and choose 'delete'.

Greetings. In Excel 2002 SP3 I have a large sheet of data I use as a
timetable. As time passes I remove the data from the first line and shift
the rest of the data upwards. For example: Data in rows 1-4, delete data in
row 1, copy/paste data from 2-4 to 1-3 (been using "Valus Only" to preserve
conditional formatting in row 1), delete row 4. Is there any way to do this
while 1) maintaining the conditional formatting in row 1 (time-based
highlighting) and 2) maintaining the font formatting from rows 2-4 as they
move to 1-3 (red X's and green check marks)? If an example file is needed, I
can certainly post one.
