How do I copy a conditional format?
I need to copy a Conditional Format where the "condition" compares two
cells on a row. When I use the Paste Format function, all references point to the original comparative cell instead of the relative cell by row. The spreadsheet is quite large and is updated daily. Any hints? ~ Barbara |

How do I copy a conditional format?
Presumably the CF formula has an absolute reference in it. Change that to
relative before copying and pasting. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "bgpip - ExcelForums.com" wrote in message ...

How do I copy a conditional format?
The original conditional formatting formula may look like this:
=$B$2$D$2 If you want to use this formatting in a different row, remove the $ signs from in front of the row numbers. =$B2$D2 That will change the absolute references (always refer to row 2), to relative references (refer to the current row). You can leave the $ signs in front of the column letters, assuming that you want it to check specific columns. bgpip - ExcelForums.com wrote: I need to copy a Conditional Format where the "condition" compares two cells on a row.
