First of all........in which cell are you placing the CF? If in E3, you don't
need a "formula is". "Cell value is" greater than will do.

If CF not in E3, make sure that the formula reads =E30, not =$E$30

BTW....I notice you left out the "=" signs in your example. Was that a typo?

I would use the Format Painter(brush icon) to copy the formats to other cells.
although the drag/copy works also.

Conditional formatting XL2000
3 rows 8 columns have Conditional formatting
Problem : When I try to copy the 3 rows the Conditional formatting the
information stays the same as the fist 3 rows
"I hope this makes sence "
Conditional formatting is set up with "formula is" 1. E30 turn green
2.E3<0 turn red ok this works good
When I copy and past or highlight and drag To row 4 the Conditional
formatting stays 1. E30 turn green 2.E3<0

Question: How can I copy the three rows and past them so the
Conditional formatting follows the row Number
