    conditional formatting, shortcut for highlighting cells

    I have to highlight cells 5-22 in columns C,F,I and so on for 13 columns
    Then the same for rows 28-45 for 13 columns
    then the same for rows 51-68 for 13 columns
    then the same for rows 74-91 for 13 columns
    So I have to highlight 52 areas of cells and it is every third column.
    I then have to repeat this 3 times.

    I can do manually :-( but is there a shortcut for highlighing the areas I want to conditional format.

    Hi juco,

    I'd use the Format Painter Tool and drag it across those ranges.

    I needed it yesterday and it wasn't perfect but saved lots of time.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.
