  • I watched your video and I can see that at 4:04 you add a new row to the table. This should be light blue but it is actually dark blue. The same problem with the formatting happens later as well at 4:42. How can you keep the formatting in order to have alternating dark & light blue rows whenever you add a new row to the table? Do you know a way to fix that? Thank you.

  • Wow, I do not. Try THE best excel question site:

    mrexcel[dot]com/forum

  • Is there a way you could allow multiple values in a single cell for Category, but be able to still validate them?

    Ex: Have Red, Pink in cell 2A and it should accept it, but if I enter Red, Cyan, it should throw the error for me.

  • I have no idea how to do that. Access is good for that. I am sure that there is a way, though. Try THE best Excel question site:

  • @ExcelIsFun Thanks for the quick reply. Just so you know the reason for my ask, I use excel for project planning and I need to show my GANTT chart 3 dimensional: 1. Features 2. Resources 3. Date / Schedule. I hate MSProject as it is not flexible, needs additional setup, training for other folks who are using it, etc etc

    Thanks for the quick reply. I will try MrExcel

  • Send me link to your post so that I can follow along also! (Send link by YouTube e-mail).
