Hi,

I'm setting a rule in "Conditional formatting Rules Manager":

Formula: =$D3="hello"
Format: color change
Applies to: =$A$3:$J$3

I'm trying to set "Applies to": =$A3:$J3, but its just changing to =$A$3:$J$3 when I apply.

That means I cant copy/paste that cell.

I want D4 to have automatically:

Formula: =$D4="hello"
Format: color change
Applies to: =$A$4:$J$4

Can this be done?

If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
Try selecting all of the cells that this should apply to then enter your CF formula.

Don't worry about the $ signs in Applies to. The row reference in the Formula will adjust relatively when the conditional formatting is copied or the Applies to range is expanded.
