Copying rules set on a range of cells

[Chetski]

I have selected a range of cells in a row and created a rule to change text
color if conditions are met. I have multiple rows to which I wish to apply
this same rule. However, when I try to copy this rule it just increases the
range of cells that it affects.

Methinks it may be due to Excel applying absolute references to the "Applies
to" cells which cannot be removed.

Is it possible to copy this rule to a different set of cells? If so, can
you please tell me how?

Taker a look at this:

This too:

Does that help?

.. it may be due to Excel applying absolute references to the "Applies

True, that sometimes that's the "annoying" default applied by Excel when you
do point n click in dialogs. But you could always click inside the dialog and
change the references to suit (eg remove the $ signs, etc)
