Conflicting Multiple Conditional Formatting Rules in Excel

by

A higher rule always wins when working with  multiple conditional formatting rules in Excel . This example illustrates two different results.

1. The value 95 is higher than 80 but is also the highest value (Top 1). The formats (yellow fill vs green fill and yellow text color vs green text color) conflict. A higher rule always wins. As a result, the value 95 is colored yellow.

Worked Example:   Highlight cells that begin with in Excel


Result:

2. Move the second rule up. The value 95 is the highest value (Top 1) but is also higher than 80. The formats (green fill vs yellow fill and green text color vs yellow text color) conflict. A higher rule always wins. As a result, the value 95 is colored green.

Result:

Worked Example:   Conditional formatting highlight target percentage in Excel
