    Cannot change cell's color

    I need to change the color of certain cells in a workbook, but the cell color remains gray regardless of what fill color I choose. I thought perhaps it was a style setting for a table, so I made sure to convert the table to columns, but I still can't change the cell color. Does anyone know what is causing this (Excel 2007)?

    I don't know off-hand why this would happen, if I had a sample of the spread I could troubleshoot it for you.

    Kind Regards,

    The spreadsheet contains conditional formatting rules that control the colour of the cells.

    Go to Home/Conditional Formatting/ Manage Rules.
    You can choose which rules to delete.

    I've never used conditional formatting; thanks for the help!
