I'm trying to find how to copy from one cell which has cell value conditional formatting and formula based conditional formatting and paste or paint the formatting to other cells and maintain the integrity of the formula based conditional formatting. For instance, I want to display a color change in each cell based on its value being greater than 23 and I want to change the border color if there are more than 3 blank cells from which the sum is taken. I can format the one cell, but when I copy and special paste or paint the formatting, each cell is formatted based on the original formula and not the formula of respective cells. More specifically, I have number values in cells F1 to F9, F10=sum(F1:F9), if(F10>23) format font "Red", if (countblank(F1:F9)>=4 border color = "Orange". When I paste or paint the formatting from F10 to cells G10 to BI10, the conditional formatting automatically groups and formats cells F10 to BI10 based on the single formula (countblank(F1:F9). How can I paste or paint so that each cell is conditionally formatted based on a formula respective to it (i.e. BI10 should be based on if (countblank(BI1:BI9)? This comes up rather often in various spreadsheets and it's very tedious to set a separate conditional formatting rule for each cell. I appreciate your help.
