copying conditional formats
I am trying to to set up a "Formula is" conditional format and when I try to
copy the formula down, the cell location does not automatically adjust. The same cell location I used in the initial cell copies down to all the others. Sometimes it works and more often it does not. I am using copy/paste special/formats. Also, I am pulling a text file into excel, would this make a difference? Thank you. |

remove $ from your formula in conditional formating then copy formats.

copying conditional formats
Hi
Make sure that your 'Formula Is' contains relative rather than absolute references - ie, does not have any dollar signs. Hope this helps. Andy. "Steiner" wrote in message ...

I do not have $ in my "formula is" and it still does not copy properly.

copying conditional formats
i think you first enter this formula for a single cell then you copy the format down. you should first select the range of column where you want to apply this formula then enter formula in conditional formatting. however it works fine even entering in single cell then coping downward. I have applied it in single cell then copied format in below cells it updated the referred cells automatically. Steiner Wrote: =countif(A:A,A2)1 "starguy" wrote: put your formula here.

copying conditional formats
I am still not able to get this function to work. I have tried opening a new
worksheet and randomly adding numbers (some that duplicate) and it still will not work. I am using excel 2003. Is there an add-on I may be missing?
