Hello,

the title says it all; say I'm using conditional formatting formula in the
R1 and I want to populate it throughout 150.000 rows (Excel 2007, of course);
is there an easy way to do this (I mean, something instead of having to drag
'the corner' all the way down ...) ? Some kind of a shortcut?

Select all 15000 and then set the CF based on the first selected cell.

Well, that's what I want to avoid..:-) In other words - now, when the maxrow
limit is much 'far away', are there any ways to 'jump forward', to speed up
...?

If the data is contiguous in that column, hold down the <shift> key,
press <end> followed by <down-arrow>, then release <shift>.

If not contiguous, then press F5 (GoTo) and enter A150000. Select the
cell in the appropriate column, hold down <shift>, press <ctrl-end>,
select the appropriate cell, then release <shift>.

A third alternative is just to select the complete column by clicking
on the column identifier.

Hope this helps.

Or just hit control-A to select all.

Hi Mac,

I don't know if the name box is in 2007, but
in previous versions you simply click in the name
box and enter say A1:A65000 then hit enter.
That will select cells A1 through A65000.

The name box is just to the left of the formula bar
and usually displays the active cell.

Yep, I realized it a few moments ago. Thanks anyway!
