    Colour formating of Table Columns

    Hi.

    Have a Table with some 15 columns.

    Only cells in the middle 5 columns are for inputting values whereas the 5 columns either side have calculations which take place.

    I would like to add a colour to the centre 5 columns to highlight that only these columns should have input values entered.

    I have added a colour to these columns which look OK on the values already entered but when I move down to the next line although the formulas index down to the next line the colour formatting doesn't.

    How can I carry the colour formatting down automatically when indexing down to the next line?

    Thanks.

    Thanks for that JeteMc.

    Got it sorted, looks like I wasn’t applying the colour format to the whole of each column which caused it not to follow down.

    There was a couple of lines behind the header row I hadn’t noticed.
