I have a rather large excel 2010 sheet that needs conditional formatting, and the conditional formatting is only working for the first cell in the group of cells that have the rules applied to them. Four cells at a time have the same rules apply to them. The following are the steps I followed along with what happened:
1. Selected four cells.
2. Added 3 rules under conditional formatting>manage rules.
3. Clicked OK.
4. The font in the cells is supposed to be certain colors depending on the values, and if within normal spec remain the default font color.
5. The first cell in the group of four follows the rules.
6. The font in the last 3 cells turns orange, the color for the last rule, regardless of the value.
I have doubled check everything, and had a co-worker who I would rate excellent in her excel knowledge look at this. We are both stumped. I really don't want to have to go through 240 cells and individually add conditional formatting, so any help would be very much appreciated.
