Can someone please explain to me how the CF Rule order works, it is driving me made.
I keep arranging in alphabetical column order, so the rules apply in the order left to right as I populate my sheet. When I leave and go back into the CF Rules Manager they formats rules are not in the order I put them, most strange. Do I have the power to decide the order or Excel makes this decision.
Secondly, when I am editing the range of cells to be formatted, the range appears blank in the 'Applies to' box for formats that I have already specified the range. It is very confusing trying to keep track of which formats I have applied to which range of cells.
Thirdly I seem to gain lines of formatting associated with one cell only. I keep cleaning this up, but they keep reappearing. I have even completely cleared the range of cells of all formatting as this was suggested to me. Even with this and reentering the fomat formula I keep encountering the issues mentioned
Any advice on how to resolve this would be very much appreciated. It is very frustrating. I am clearly doing something wrong, just not sure what it is.
Thank you in advance
Best Regards
