    Question Conditional formatting not working after certain point in the sheet

    Hi all,,

    As the title says my conditional formatting has stopped working properly at a random point down my sheet.
    Not sure whats causing this.

    The formatting should highlight the column a orange when there is a '2' in column K. (as demonstrated in the second image)

    The problem is depicted in the second image, where '2' is in column K yet the formatting isn't right, and even have different cells highlighted.

    The condition formatting I have is =$K2=2

    Can anyone advise?

    Cheers

    Re: Conditional formatting not working after certain point in the sheet

    Your formatting applies to the following ranges =$A$2:$N$6;$M$7:$N$82;$A$7:$K$74;$A$75:$H$82;$I$75:$K$96;$P$2:$P$11;$L$7:$L$165 ( don't bother about the semi-colons)
    Is this correct?

    Basically I want whenever a '2' appears in column K, the intersecting row to be highlighted orange, throughout the whole sheet (Lets say to row 1000).

    I'm not sure if I set it up properly to begin with.

    You'll have to extend the range or use the Excel Table tool ( which is the easiest way IMO)
    Select your entire range - Insert - Table - Check " My table has headers" - OK
    Remove the default formatting in the Table style options
    Select the entire range again and create the CF as above.
    Now when addin a row, the CF range is automatically adapted

    Ah yes, that how it's meant to be. I think I figured out where I went wrong too. Many thanks!

    See post #7 I was adding something while you answered
    And be careful when editing the CF range box, strange things happen there...
