I have set up a formula-based conditional format that depends on a value that is selected from a dropdown menu (combobox) on the page. The problem is that, after a dropdown selection is made, the format is not applied immediately, rather, I have to scroll the page to hide the affected cells, then scroll back to see the conditional format enabled.
How can I trigger the conditional format when the dropdown selection is made, without having to scroll the page?
It seems this is a bug in Excel (at least some versions). Have a look at this link to see if any of these fixes will work for you.

I'm using Excel 2013 64-bit with PowerPivot, and am having a couple of issues with KPIs (and I'm not alone).
I'm adding a KPI:
As you can see, I've chosen a non-default icon set. Here's what you then see initially:
OK, I know the solution to this (and am sharing it here just in case it helps anyone else) - just untick the Status column, then re-tick it to redisplay it. This seems to solve the problem (which didn't happen in PowerPivot for Excel 2010).
However, I then get this:
Definitely not the icons I asked for. It seems that whatever icon set you choose, you always get the default ones. Can anyone shed any light on this?
I'm experiencing the same problem. Seems to be a bug.
Steps for workaround:
Format a cell correctly on a separate worksheet using conditional formatting, select the cell.
Double click Format Painter under "Home Tab"
Format one of the status cells in the column.
Go to Conditional Formatting -> Manage rules -> Edit rule and choose: All cells showing "Your column Status" values.
ive installed CKEditor on my website with the tabletools Plugins from here: http://ckeditor.com/addon/tabletools. Everything but the tabletool dialog works well.
For example: I have edited my table cell width to 33.333% and hit ok. A few minutes later I wanted to set a background color on that table cell, but unfortunatly the width (and all the other changes ive made in that dialog) was empty. That means that i cant make any further changes to that cell if i dont want to fill all the other again. Does anyone knows if this is intended and if their are any solutions to get the fields filled again?
I'm pretty certain that next time you (unconsciously) select different table cells than previously. Unfortunately it's not visible, because browsers render selections in tables poorly. For example selection may be extended to contain beginning of next cell and in such case you will see only selection in the first cell.
To make sure that on right click selection won't overflow current cell make sure to click in the middle of the text. Or, if you mistakenly opened dialog for two table cells (then width of first cell won't be loaded into the dialog), just set the values you want to change and editor won't reset those values which you haven't filled.
I'm working on a forecasting spreadsheet and I'd like it to make it as easy as possible for my forecasters to edit the forecast. I'm hoping to develop some custom VB that will allow the user to highlight a group of cells (in one particular row) and then right-click to display a menu that includes various methods of adjusting the highlighted cells:
increase by 10%
add 2 to each highlighted cell
spread an inputted value evenly to highlighted cells
and others
Questions:
How do I override Excel's right click functionality so that when my forecasters right click, they get the forecast adjuster menu form instead of Excel standard formatting menu.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a cell adjuster similar to what I am describing.
Thanks for you assistance.
I use this to edit my right click menu:

I currently have the following table
When I attempt to add a row at the top I click on row 4, and then click insert. This gives me the following screenshot
As you can see, all the colors and formatting has kept except the very first cell. While it looks like I have it selected it is actually the default light (or slightly darker light) blue. I even have the option "format same as above" yet this still happens. How could I fix this?
I should also state that there are no rules set for conditional formatting
I'm developing an infopath 2007 web-form and I'd like to be able to hide a checkbox. The control doesn't do this inherently, so does anyone have a good method for hiding them?
Thanks.
Add conditional formating to the checkbox.
Remove the text behind the box (would be visible all time).
Add an expression field behind the checkbox and put your text in here.
Then give that expression box the same conditional fomating.
An alternative:
Put the checkbox into a scetion with conditional formating
(This needs more space but is eaysier to build and manage later.)
