Hello,
I have a spread sheet with different colored rows. I want to drag a formula down a column with about 500 cells through the alternating colors. Is there a way that I can copy the formula without copying the color and thus changing the colors of the other cells?
Thanks!

Hi ShaunaB,

When done dragging your formula and messing up all your colors a small square will appears near the place where you stopped dragging. Clicking this square will give you a couple of options, one of which will let you keep your format. When selecting that option your altered cells will get their original color back.

Best regards,
Trowa
