    Copy & Pasting Conditional Formats (Excel 07)

    Hi there

    Firstly, I'll give an image example of my worksheet:

    \1

    The cell that is coloured with a red fill has three conditional statments in it, which are:

    If highlighted cell value is greater than C2 then fill is green
    If highlighted cell value is less than C2 then fill is red
    If highlighted cell value is equal to C2 then fill is blank

    So basically if "6" in this case is lower than "9" then fill the cell red, which it has done. But how do I copy this conditional format to all the other cells, ie: D2, F3, H2, B2, D3 and so forth (the first number of every group on every row)... when I tried to copy + paste the cell to another one I thought that Excel would automatically change the value itself of the number it was look at, but it doesn't and I copy it, it looks like this:

    \1

    Which is wrong because each of the copied cells is still using C2 for it's original value, instead of the value of the cell to the right of it, so looking like this would be correct (I just manually coloured all the cells for the example):

    \1

    Is there an easy way to do this, or do I have to manually create hree conditional format rules for every single cell? (which would be very harsh, because the screenshots are just examples and the proper workbook has hundreds of columns)

    Cheers!

    When you copy, try Edit|Paste Special >> Formats.

    Also make sure the C2 is relative and not absolute (i.e. no $ signs)
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
