Conditional Formatting Cloning

Hi SS Community,

I have a colleague who has a sheet with a ton of CF rules (which are applied to months/years ie. June 22, Jul 22, Aug 22, etc). He would like to clone a rule and then change the "condition" part to different month so the same formatting will apply without having to manually re-enter the rule. ie. If " Test Aug 22" is greater than 0.90, then apply a green background to the entire column. He wants to CLONE this rule, and then change "Test Aug 22" to "Test Sept 22", and leave the rest of the rule as is. Is this possible?

From what I've been reading in similar posts, it doesn't look like SS has that capability yet, but I thought I would ask.

Thanks!

Brad

You will need to make sure your [Date as DateType] column is formatted as Date. This also assumes your [Date as Text Type] column is always in the same format. (Starts with full 10 digit date)<\/p>

=IF([Date as Text Type]@row <> \"//www.santa-greenland.com/community/discussion/96061/\", DATE(VALUE(LEFT([Date as Text Type]@row, 4)), VALUE(MID([Date as Text Type]@row, 6, 2)), VALUE(MID([Date as Text Type]@row, 9, 2))), \"//www.santa-greenland.com/community/discussion/96061/\")<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]},{"discussionID":107081,"type":"question","name":"Users having issues with accessing published sheets","excerpt":"HI I have had several users reach out to me indicating they are no longer able to access a published sheet.

Does your company use Single Sing-On? There were some updates that took affect yesterday. I wonder if maybe that is affecting things since it seems to be an issue with being part of the company's account.<\/p>
