WPS Conditional Formatting on macOS FAQ

When using Conditional Formatting, common questions usually involve rules not taking effect, priority conflicts, and display consistency across devices; this FAQ includes 3 common questions and a glossary.

FAQ

Why is no color displayed after I set conditional formatting?

1. Check whether the apply range covers the target cells.
2. Check whether the condition value, comparison method, or formula is correct.
3. Open Manage Rules and confirm that the rule still exists and is not overridden by another higher-priority rule.
4. Confirm that the data type in the target cells matches the rule type. For example, numeric rules should be used with numeric content.

Which result is shown when multiple conditional formatting rules are true?

1. Open Data → Conditional Formatting → Manage Rules.
2. Review the order of rules in the list.
3. Move the rule you want to apply first to a higher position.
4. Return to the worksheet and confirm whether the final display matches your expectation.

Will conditional formatting stay in the file when I open it on another device?

1. Save the current spreadsheet file.
2. Open the same file on another device.
3. Check whether the existing conditional formatting is still applied to the same cell range.
4. If you need to adjust it further, open the Conditional Formatting menu on that device and continue managing the rules.
