help please with conditional format problem
Need help with this: how do you copy across columns the formatting say from
column b to c without excel automatically upping the value in the 'cell value is' column. to clarify: i've got lots of student data (various tests over three years) with a target grade column near the start. I want the conditional formatting to automatically colour the test scores green, amber or red depending on whether they score above the child's target grade value. Say this target grade is at cell c3, c4 etc, then I set conditional formatting to look at this cell and colour test score accordingly. The next set of test data should also look at this cell (c3) and do the same, but when I copy the formatting in the previous column to the next column it changes it to 'd3', 'e3' and so on. I don't want it to do this, it has to stay at 'c3'. any help? --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

If using a formula, use absolute referencing for the column, e.g. $A3
