    Post Conditional formatting for 2003 version.

    Hello,

    I am using a excel template provided by microsoft. Unfortunately the conditional formatting only works for .xlsx or a newer version of excel.

    I tried looking for a similar thread but was unsuccessful.

    Help.

    The problem is the conditional formats are not staying with the spread sheet when saved to 2003.

    I apologize ahead of time if there is another thread.

    Re: Conditional formatting for 2003 version.

    Cells in Excel 2003 can only have up to 3 conditional formats
    You need a VBA workaround to obtain more than 3.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
