Hi,

On a previous post i received from two MrExcel MVP formulas for Conditional Formatting. The two formulas worked perfectly, but when i Save/Close/Re-opened the file the CF is lost.

I made a search in the internet and found:

http://thedailyreviewer.com/office/view/losing-conditional-formatting-when-saving-112440848
http://thedailyreviewer.com/office/view/losing-conditional-formatting-112962815

but no practical solution.

After many attempts, at last i found out a workaround saving the file in binary format (.xlsb) that keeps the CF intact after Save/Close/Re-open.

Is that normal? Cant i save the file on standard format (.xlsx)?

Tks in advance

M.
