Description Frank 2021-11-16 09:26:00 UTC
Description:
A merged area (A16:D19) is to be changed in color by conditional formatting. The conditions are trivial: threshold values 8 green, 10 yellow, 15 red. The condition is correctly implemented, but the color change is executed only for the first line (here A16:A19) instead of for the entire range A16:D19.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Merge  some cells
2.type in a number
3.set up conditions for format with different colours


Actual Results:
colours will be changed for the first Line of cells only 

Expected Results:
people usually expect that all the merged cells will be changed by cond. formatting


Reproducible: Always

The conditional formatting is located in the table 'Dashboard' over the cells A16:D19. In order to be able to test the formatting, a corresponding value for the current date is expected in each of the tables 'WATER_Data' 'GAS_Data' or 'CURRENT_Data'.

Seems CF it's not working fine.
For row 16 A16:D16 applies the CF even B16:D16 are empty, but not for the other rows of the merged cells.
Adding a formula like =a16 in A17:D19, applies the CF in B16:D16 and A17:A19, which not sound very consistent.

You can work around, while the bug exist by filling A17:A19~B16:D19 with a formula =A16, and merging keeping the values in hidden cells.
