Excel Conditional Formating From Adjacent Cells
Basically I am trying to have my columns mimic font and background colors of one entry cell. The sheet is only 6 columns wide.
ie;
A22=date, B22=user input/auto populate, C22=user input (drop down), D22=user input/auto populate, E22=user input/auto populate, F22=user input ...
So when an item is selected from the cell in the C column how would cells in columns a,b,d,e,and f mimic the font and background color formatting that has been set by my superiors?
Here is a link of a screenshot

Then apply the same conditional formatting to the other cells. Look for "Applies to" in the Conditional Formatting Rules Manager
