Conditonal formating - last row

Hi there :)

I have a excel file for loan amortisation.
Inside, depending of the assumption key in (number of periods to amortised, which is linked to the number of row), the number of row in the amortisation table will increase or decrease automatically, and the table will also color the first row till the "adjusted" last row.
How can I do such request by my self on a new excel spreadsheet, in general?

Thank you :)
Mf

RE: Conditonal formating - last row

Hi Meifong

Thanks for your question!

As far as I can understand here, you are looking to create dynamic conditional formatting that moves as more/less data is added.

First, turn your data into a dynamic range by going to the Home ribbon>Styles section>Format as Table. Try using a design with no fill colours, as this can override your conditional formatting.

Now add your conditional formatting. Because the data is now a dynamic range, if more data changes and the row number changes, the conditional formatting will move accordingly.

Hope this answers your question, let us know if you have any further issues.

Kind Regards,

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.
