Excel: Colored cell border
- Jul 01, 2019That looks like the Table fill handle. It definitely looks out of place, so select the Due upon cell, then go to Table Design > Convert to Range. If the formatting still applies, you might want to select the cells in question and go to Home > Styles > Normal.
garyw581 For some reason, I don't see a border in your screen shot. Have you tried selecting a cell with the format you want, then click the Format Painter, and apply it to the cell in question? That should reset any errant settings you might have applied.
HTH
When the screenshot posted the red color of the line went to a grey rather than red... I've tried all the usual ways to edit cell borders with no luck. There is a small black mark at the right lower corner of the group of affected cells. It looks almost like a "left tab" formatting mark from Word. I have no idea what it is and I have no idea how to make it go away.

That was it! Once I converted it back to a normal range then I was able to change the border back to black. Thanks so much!
