What is the current conditional formatting rule and is this (which is Excel's &quot;Bad&quot; cell style) what you have now?<br />

it's more that the user wants to know if there is a way to change the default setting of &quot;light red fill with dark red text&quot;....she is well able to use conditional formatting - it's the default she wants to know how to change...

<div>
Are you talking about the default colors for the &quot;Bad&quot; cell style?

hi <br />
Here is an interesting one - is there some way to change the default colour setting of conditional formatting from light red fill with dark red text to something else? (it's for a colour blind user)...<br />
Thanks.
