I want to conditionally format a range using a formula to determine which cells to format. When I try to specify a named range in the formula, it converts the named range to row-column notation.
When I try to format a cell within that range, it completely garbles the conditional formatting formulas and ranges, creating many new formulas and ranges that I don't want. It doesn't affect the named range, so if it used the name, it would work fine.
How is this normally done? For example, I want to highlight error cells in red. I set up conditional formatting to do this and then go in and pretty-format the range. Doing this screws up my conditional formatting. I want it to always highlight the errors. How do I give the conditional formatting priority over any manual updates? How do I stop it from changing the ranges?
