Set font (and color) automatically copied to all cells in table [in error]

Hello!  I am experiencing a problem with Excel 2013 that seems to be based on it making an assumption I would rather it not.  I have a template XLSX file that contains a table on the first worksheet.  My app copies the template to a user-defined filename and then programmatically populates values in the table.  There are some color coding rules, which alas can no longer be expressed in conditional formatting.  Therefore I set the font and cell color of each cell that meet various criteria.

The problem is that if a cell in the first data row of the table is formatted (by the app) then ALL cells in that column have that font and cell color applied - even if another color is applied programmatically.  How can I tell Excel to be less intelligent?

If I do not begin formatting until the second data row then all is fine.

Best,
Scott
