Re: [libreoffice-users] Conditional formatting question

Andreas & Brian,

thanks, that works great!

Now I have another followup question:

I already had a formatting for 2 colums where I set the number of digits behind the decimal based 
on the formula MOD(F2,0.01)=0.
This to make a Euro/dfl denomination look like 0.10 and 0.15, while the real old values (e.g. 12.5 
cents) display as 0.125

For those values which on have 2 digits after de decimal, the background color doesn't display..
If I look at the conditions the first one is the one just added (Range A2:AMJ3500; Formula 
ISNUMBER($H2). This is followed by a hugh list in the style F4  — MOD(F4,0.01)=0 
F20-F21 — MOD(F20,0.01)=0
Apparently the list breaks if rows are added... I changed the condition to MOD($F2,0.01=0) for the 
range F2-F3500.

It seems that changing the number format conditionally overrides the set background color.

Result: 
If Fx has the value n.nnn it has de correct background but the numberformat displayed is now n.nn
If Fx has the value n.nn the background is gone

Am I missing something here?
Is this expected behavior?

Thanks,
Rob.
