When I apply conditional formatting to a range of merged cells the
conditional borders I specify do not extend around the entire merged range;
they only appear on the top, left, and bottom of first cell of the range.
Fonts and patterns work fine across the entire merged range, but the borders
do not seem to recognize that the range extends across several cells.
Is thare a workaround for this, or another way to accomplish this without
using code? (The rest of the sheet is working fine, and will be used by a
wide assortment of users so I don't want the risk / hassle of requiring that
macros are enabled to make the sheet work properly).
In case it matters, the conditional formatting is based on a formula such
as: {=A10="OTHER"} so when a value of "Other" is entered in cell A10,
(through a data validation list), the conditionally formatted range should
appear along with a prompt to enter a description of what the value of
"Other" represents.
Thanks, Any suggestions are greatly appreciated,
TK
