Hi
I found it is hard to edit a formula in the Conditional Formatting -->New Rule-->Using Formula, box
When I click inside the box and then click any cell excel will enter the absoult value i.e $A$1
let say I wrote this formula =$A$1 >10
Later if i go to that box and to edit something for example deleting $ i can delete the first one but when I move to the next one using arrow key, excel will enter $B$1

Why is that? Thank you so much.
 

Excel Facts

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"
You need to press f2 after clicking in the box to enter edit mode. It's always the case with that particular range selecting control.
