I know the conditional formatting element can easily be recorded, but not sure about if I can add the code to the active worksheet to automatically recalculate. example what I imagine it would do. 1. Highlight your data area 2. Run the macro (having the on/off switch on your ribbon) 3. Do what you need to do, then turn it off. 4. Move to next workbook and repeat. I hope that makes sense. Thanks either way.

Hi Joy! My first thought is that when you open the file, even though it’s saved as an Excel macro-enabled file, you might not have allowed macros to run. To ensure the code works, you need to enable macros. Here’s how to do it: 1. Go to File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Macro Settings. 2. Select Enable all macros. For detailed steps, check out my article on enabling macros here: www.launchexcel.com/enable-disable-macros-excel I'd also check that the VBA code and conditional formatting rules are still in place. If issues persist, try removing and reapplying the rules. Feel free to reach out if you need more help!

Thanks and well spotted! Yes, in the Level 1 comment I wrote celll("row") instead of cell("row")... you're right it should be cell with 2 Ls not 3.

Do you mean your file is protected? And you can't use this method?

Too long for a short answer needed😢

Unfortunately, Excel doesn't have this as a one-click feature. Hence this long answer.

It's a detailed tutorial, just skip to the part you wants, unless you need a tutorial for that too :v Besides, this video has so much better explanation than any other videos i saw. It has level of highlights. You dont need to know all the level, just the very basic of level 2 is enough. Also, your time might be precious for you, but this youtuber's time could be even more precious than yours. World doesn't revolve around you
