Conditional Formatting

I need to exchange files between 2007 and 2003 but am losing conditional formatting deeper than 3 levels. Can I get around this? Preferably without complex Macro/VBA (my advanced course is tomorrow!?). Thanks. Gavin

RE: Conditional Formatting

Hello Gavin,


Thank you for your question regarding conditional format

Unfortunately, the reason 2007 supports more than 3 levels of cond. format is the new file extension allows this. Trying to save a file in earlier versions will remove any of the new features such as multiple levels.
Only way around this, is like you noted, is applying more levels through VBA.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Mark

Excel tip:

How to select certain data in an Excel 2010 workbook

If you want to select the correct data set in a page full of data, the most accurate and efficient way of doing this is to use the ''Shift and Click'' technique.

For example: If you want to select all data in cells A2 to E10, then click on cell A2, hold down the Shift key and click on cell E10 and all the data you want to see is highlighted.

Keep holding down the Shift key and you can move from cell E10 to any other cell in the spreadsheet.
