Default How do I use conditional formatting for an entire column?

The problem as I see it is not the conditional formatting, but Excel's
insistence on applying absolute references on the "Applies to" cells.

I selected a range of cells and applied a formula for conditional formatting
that works as expected on this selected range of cells. Yet when I try to
copy this rule to other rows, as previously noted, it just increases the
range of cells that gets affected by it. I want to apply this same rule as a
separate rule to a different row.

Is this possible? If so, please tell me how?

Are you sure you resolved? If I copy and paste conditional formatting in a
single cell it goes very well, but if I copy on a multiple cells I had the
problem that you described and the $ doesn't works (doesn' change the number
of row but use a range). Who can help me? Thanks

The problem I was having had nothing to do with cell references; it was a
logic error. Relative refs work fine in conditional formatting formulae.
