 |
|
Hi,
I'm trying to use conditional formatting on multiple sheets, and it works until I save the file and subsequently reload it. Then the relative cell references in the formula have been changed.
I have a column of numbers in C5:C30 and in D5:C30 I have some values when the corresponding values in C are negative:
| Code: |
C D
Row 5 300
Row 6
Row 7 -200 $60.40
...
Row 30 -100 $50.00
|
I want the D cells to be shaded when the C value is empty (0) or positive. Call this format FormatShaded. When the user puts in a negative value into a C cell, then immediately I want the D cell to have default format.
Further, I have 60 worksheets that I want to apply this to. So I selected all those worksheets, selected D5:D30 with the cell D5 with the last mouse click. Then for the conditional formatting I put Formula Is: C5>=0 (I also tried $C5>=0) and Cell Style: FormatShaded. Everything looks great, it works fine.
But then I save the file. Later I reload it. Many of the worksheets look broken. Looking at the conditional format for cell D5 in one of those sheets for instance shows that the Formula Is: has changed to F9>=0
What am I doing wrong???
Strangely, I've done similar conditional formats in the same spreadsheet and they seem to work!
Thanks for your help.
