Recently I had a complete list in Excel 2003 set up to conditionally format
all the cells within a range if there was a total number of 25 non-blank
cells. All the names within that range would then automatically change to a
red font.
Now about 3 weeks ago, we upgraded to 2007... I'm still trying to adjust to
the changes! However, these names dont automatically turn red anymore until I
go to the next page and back again. What would I have to do to get those
changes to appear immediatly when the list hits 25??

Have a great day!

When upgrades are accomplished by the IT team, they do not compensate for
the individual workstation settings, so some of the things that were routine
before the update will have to be reset to be routine after the update. It
could be that your earlier version had Calculate set to automatic, which
would then trigger the conditional format formula as it occurred. Go to
ToolsOptionsCalculation and reset your options.

I actually dont have a Tools Tab, (or if i do, I dont know where to find it)
but following those directions to what I do have I found that there is a
Calculation icon in the Formulas menu. However it's already set to automatic
and my formatting is still not taking effect immediately except the 25th
entry. But still thanks! That got me a little closer.

Is there an "F" key or a shortcut I could use on those pages that may be
effected if I can't set it to automaticaly change?

I do not have xl2007, so my knowledge of the idiosynchrosies of that version
is limited. You need to get someone who has more knowledge to assist you.
I think that if you make a new posting and include the conditional format
formula that you are using, the file extenstion type of the file (xlxm or
xlxs, etc/) and a brief outline of what you have tried, someone might come
up with a solution for you.

Cassie did not say if Autocalc was enabled.

In 2007 Office ButtonExcel OptionsFormulas.

The calc mode is set here.

Note that the first workbook opened sets the calc mode for all subsequently
opened workbooks.

Make sure a workbook set to manula calc mode is not opened first.
