Keep conditional formatting range when inserting/deleting cells/rows/columns?
Was having the same issue and so my search led to this forum, searched everywhere else and couldn't find the answer, played around with it and finally figured it out. It's actually a pretty simple solution.
Instead of Inserting a column or copying and inserting a column, all you have to do is select the column cells that you want to extend, then at the bottom of the cursor where the plus sign is, click and drag to the right as many columns as needed.
The CF range extended to the last column without creating any extra conditions or messing up the original range.
OldGitSean that's correct, inserting data into the middle of the range will cause the formatting to be modified. Only works if you are extending the range to new cells at the end of the range.
