This has happened to me many times, although I don't have a specific
example
right now. When I have conditional formatting applied to multiple cells,
then I either add or delete a row, the conditional formatting is
completely
changed. It now applies to many other cells. I haven't been able to make
any sense of the changes that happen automatically. Is there a way to
avoid
this (other than not using conditional formatting)? Why doesn't it just
delete the formatting for the cells that were deleted, rather than
changing
all the other formatting?

Thanks
