Copying cells that contain conditional formatting
Chapter 19: Conditional Formatting and Data Validation 533
Conditional formatting information is stored with a cell much like how standard formatting information
is stored with a cell. As a result, when you copy a cell that contains conditional formatting,
you also copy the conditional formatting.
To copy only the formatting (including conditional formatting), use the Paste Special
dialog box and select the Formats option. Or, choose Home➜Clipboard➜Paste➜Other
Paste Options➜Formatting.
Inserting rows or columns within a range that contains conditional formatting causes the new
cells to have the same conditional formatting.
Deleting conditional formatting
When you press Delete to delete the contents of a cell, you do not delete the conditional formatting
for the cell (if any). To remove all conditional formats (as well as all other cell formatting),
select the cells and choose Home➜Editing➜Clear➜Clear Formats. Or, choose Home➜Editing➜
Clear➜Clear All to delete the cell contents and the conditional formatting.
To remove only conditional formatting (and leave the other formatting intact), choose
Home➜Styles➜Conditional Formatting➜Clear Rules.
Find and replace limitations
Excel’s Find and Replace dialog box includes a feature that allows you to search your worksheet
to locate cells that contain specific formatting. This feature does not locate cells that contain formatting
resulting from conditional formatting.
