    Simple Conditional Formatting change that is not Working

    I can do a basic conditional formatting to a cell and it works fine, the text becomes yellow. But when going to manage rules and changing the cell in the column to all the cells in the column they all turn yellow but only 3 of them should. No matter what I do it does this.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thank you.What.xlsx

    Anchoring issue. What happened is it applies the same conditional formatting based on the AVERAGE of the entire table. Change the formula in there to:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    and that should fix it.

    Word of caution: Anchoring is very important here.
