Conditional formatting

how do i make formatting consistence

RE: conditional formatting

Hi Christine

Thank you for your question. To make sure your conditional formatting behaves consistently select the cells which have your formatting applied to them and from the Home ribbon choose Conditional formatting > Manage rules. Click the active formatting rule and choose edit. Check the criteria Excel is using to trigger the conditional formatting. Many use a percentage of the total to drive the various formats and you may prefer to change the thresholds or switch from percentages to numbers.

I hope this helps - do let me know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Excel tip:

Use the SUBTOTAL function in Excel

You can create subtotals in your spreadsheet using the SUBTOTAL function, which looks like this:

=SUBTOTAL(9,cell:cell)

9 represents the function being used (SUM), followed by the range of cells the function is operating on.

The neat thing about using the Subtotal function is that if you have used it several times in the same column or row, clicking on the AutoSum button at the end of the column or row will make Excel add only the results of cells containing the Subtotal function in that column or row.
