Conditional formatting question
Hi,
A conditional formatting question i hope someone may be able to help me with. Depending on the entry in cell A7, i.e. either 1 or 0, cells A1 - A6 have conditional formatting applied to them ( in fact if A7 = 1 then the font colour in cells A1 - A6 is red) My question is how can I copy this conditional formatting down to say, row 200? The formatting is set by the following formula $A$1=1, then font is red If I copy down, then I have to amend the formula for each line, incrementing by hand the value of column 7 - is there a way to do this automatically? I am using Excel 2000 SP3 -- Cheers Peter Remove the INVALID to reply |

Select the entire column, go into Format Conditional
Formatting and use: =$A$7=1 HTH Jason Atlanta, GA -----Original Message----- Hi, A conditional formatting question i hope someone may be able to help me with.

The coditional formatting is dependant on the contents of cell I in each row In row 1 I have the formula =$I$1=1, but in row 2 I want to have =$I$2=1 and in row 3 have =$I$3=1. What I want to be able to do is fill down the conditional formatting to say row 200, when the conditional formatting formula will be =$I$200=1 When I fill down now what happens is the formula is the same for each row and i have to increment the value manually for each row, i.e. =$I$2=1 then =$I$3=1 and so on. -- Cheers Peter Remove the INVALID to reply |

Another way to do the same thing would be to change the absolute
reference. Instead of $A$1=1, use $A1=1 in the formula. Then you can copy and Paste SpecialFormats and excel will adjust the condition formula for each row. |

Hi Bill, Many thanks - remomving the second absolute reference did it - it works just as I hoped now. -- Cheers Peter Remove the INVALID to reply |

Conditional formatting question
Your 2 descriptions seem at odds to me, so this is probably wrong, but hey
use a formula of =A1=1 and copy the format down -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Peter" wrote in message ...
