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

Can you guys please let me know how do I get the symbols in excel shown in the image below. I checked the cells but its simple B1-A1 formula but not sure how to get symbols there. Also, how do I get symbol if there is no change (<>) in same format as in image?
From the Home ribbon, click Conditional Formatting > Icon sets. In the arrows are the second item in the first category (Directional). Once selected, if you go back into Conditional Formatting and select to edit the rule, you will have options where you can set at what point it is to display each icon (up arrow, down arrow, or yellow bar, which you could use to indicate no (or insufficient) change.
While it doesn't look exactly like your image in color, the icon is the same. Consider an extra conditional format that matches the color of your text, if desired.
Neither select-row work nor row-click works when the cell are editable. Anyway to get row selected?
If I click inbetween the cells then it works but it's not practicle click small space inbetween cells.
You really need to show an example of what you are trying to do. A JSFiddle would be helpful. Still if I'm following correctly what you want to add to your table layout is:
http://tabulator.info/docs/4.7/format#format-builtin
"Row Handle
The handle formatter fills the cell with hamburger bars, to be used as a row handle
{title:"Example", field:"example", formatter:"handle"}"
I think the image attached describes better than I can in words the functionality I am trying to locate within excel.
Is there a way to auto group based on the contents within the columns as shown? This is achievable for the example shown, but when there are up to say 30 Groups and many sub group types, I am wondering whether excel can auto-detect and work its way through the list, grouping as shown as it goes.
You can get a similar result using conditional formatting. select the whole table and create a new conditional format rule and choose formula and enter =A1=A2 set the format font to white (I've used very light grey to show that the data is still there)
To get the borders, do the same again and this time enter the formula =A1<>A2 and make the top border black.
It's not exactly the same as yours but it's close.
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.
How can I set up a column in Excel so that every other line has a different background color, even when I insert a new row?
Apply Conditional Formatting, with two rules, each with a different background colour
=ISEVEN(ROW())
and
=ISODD(ROW())
Creating a table is one way to do that.
Select the cells that should have the alternating color formatting, click "Insert" and "Table" on the ribbon. Tell Excel whether your data has a header row, and click ok.
If you would prefer to clear the arrow that appears on the first row (for setting filter options), click anywhere in the table, then click "Data" and deselect "Filter" on the ribbon.
If you add a value in the row just beneath the table, the table and background color formatting will expand to include the additional row.
