Can I call up and use the Conditional Formatting dialog in
a way that I can use the results of the entries without overwriting what is currently designated for conditional formatting? My users want to be able to assign more than three conditional formats to a cell. Excel has a limit of three and will error out if you try to assign more. This would be simple if they were just looking at the results of a calculation and formatting based on the outcome. What they are doing, however, is comparing the results to a different cell. So, when they copy the conditional formatting, the cell locations the comparisons are being made to are being copied too. They want to be able to set it up once and copy it across the rows. The way I thought I might handle it was to let them set up the conditional formatting for the first two conditions. This would be assigned to the cells. Then they could pull up my copy of the dialog box -- I would take their input and only apply it to the cells that ended up not getting the format changed by the first pass of conditional formatting. I hope this makes sense! Can I do this? Can I use Microsoft's form in my own way? I want to offer the functionality of displaying a sample of the formatted cell and the way they can click and choose ranges, etc. Plus they are familiar with the current Conditional Formatting form. TIA for any help or advice. ~~Jody |
