Conditional Formatting - how to minimize formatting rule duplication with editing
Hi Nabil,
Attached is a slimmed down version of my spreadsheet showing my issue with inserting rows after the sheet is protected. The sheet is protected with no password. The formula I'd like to carry on is in Column R. After I follow the instructions listed above, protect the sheet, and insert a row, the formula cell in Column R doesn't copy. I've tried copying the formula formatting into the inserted row, but it doesn't work because the cells in Column R are locked for editing. This is the debacle I am currently facing. :)

I see what you mean my friend.
The solution is:
For column R >> in the Protection Tab of the Format cell Dialog box>> Uncheck "Locked" and Check "Hidden"
Hope that helps
Let me know to celebrate the success :)
