    Hi cboys,

    You can simply copy D3 and paste special formats on the below cells until D100 or do you need some other thing ?

    In the conditional formatting, remove the $ sign for row --> $B3
    This will leave the conditional formatting formula free to move when copied downwards. Otherwise will be fixed to row 3.
    Example: In cell E3 use this conditional formatting formula: =($B3=1). Copied down it will show =($B4=1), =($B5=1), etc

    Copy the first cell in the range, and copy to the other 399 cells in the range, in one go - after the $ sign adjustment in the first cell.

    You were asking to drag the conditional formatting then why would you see any data. I have dragged the conditional formatting from B3 to B100 in one go by following the steps mentioned in post #9. thanks.

    Re: possible to drag the conditional formatting formula start from =$B3$ to =$B$100 automa

    Hi cboys00,

    Do you :-
    1) Want to apply the conditional formatting
    2) want to change the conditional formatting
    3) want to use this in a formula not in conditional formatting

    ??

    Also what are you referring by saying "rule cell" ?

    In your attached file I did not find any conditional formatting.. If you want to drag the conditional formatting, just remove the dollar sign ($) from row number (but keep this with column and drag down....if you want to use absolute reference (fixed reference) like you shared, then $ sign does'nt matter because if you drag the formula down (even without $ sign), reference will still be change like B3, B4, B5. Thanks.

    thanks to mr dilipandey and olasa, had found the solution yesterday night.

    just type =(B3:B103) in rule cell.

    then in cell D, just drag until D103... yet..
