Hi all,

I use conditional formating to color the border of cells that contain a date that is within a week from today.

My table is fill colors; 1 line gray, 1 gray white, 1 line gray and so on.
This is done for readability.

The conditional formating fills all cells with white. I don't want this. I want it to stay either gray or white (the original color).
Some way to make this?

Conditional format formule: =WEEKNUM($D3)=WEEKNUM(NOW())
Format; red borders

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Change the format for that rules to "No colour" for the fill.

You need to change the other rule.

It doesn't make any difference, @Fluff. If you have a structured table with banded rows conditional formatting wipes the table format, even if you set it to no fill.

edit:- 4 rules needed.
Excel Formula:
=AND(ISODD(ROW($D3));WEEKNUM($D3)=WEEKNUM(NOW()))
Excel Formula:
=AND(ISEVEN(ROW($D3));WEEKNUM($D3)=WEEKNUM(NOW()))
Excel Formula:
=AND(ISODD(ROW($A3));$A3<>"";MOD(SUBTOTAL(3;$A$3:$A3);2)=0))
Excel Formula:
=AND(ISEVEN(ROW($A3));$A3<>"";MOD(SUBTOTAL(3;$A$3:$A3);2)=0))
With the correct fill colours for the table applied as necessary.

Never knew that. Yet another reason to avoid using Tables.
