Conditional Formatting

I need to exchange files between 2007 and 2003 but am losing conditional formatting deeper than 3 levels. Can I get around this? Preferably without complex Macro/VBA (my advanced course is tomorrow!?). Thanks. Gavin

RE: Conditional Formatting

Hello Gavin,


Thank you for your question regarding conditional format

Unfortunately, the reason 2007 supports more than 3 levels of cond. format is the new file extension allows this. Trying to save a file in earlier versions will remove any of the new features such as multiple levels.
Only way around this, is like you noted, is applying more levels through VBA.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Mark

Excel tip:

Make macros work in newer versions of Excel

If you have created macros in Excel 97 or 2000 that you want to be able to use in 2002/XP or 2003, you may need to alter the macro security settings in the newer version of Excel you are using.

To do this, go to Tools - Options - Security.

Select Macro Security and change the security setting to Low.

Tick the boxes next to 'Trust Add-ins' and 'Trust Visual Basic' and click OK.

After you have restarted Windows, you should then be able to use your macros created in earlier versions of Excel.
