Styles in Excel

Deviate from a style

If you have applied a style to a set of cells and you change a formatting element of one of those cells, then modifications to that particular element of the style will no longer be applied to the modified cell.

So after changing a font attribute (like Bold) of a cell, changing the font attributes of the style will update all cells, except the one you just modified:

Series of cells with one style, 1 cell deviates from that style.

Series of cells with one style, 1 cell deviates from that style.

You can restore the style to a deviating cell by selecting the cell and choosing the style from the style dropdown and clicking "No" on the subsequent question Excel 97 - 2003 will ask you (See below) . Note that Excel 2007 never asks you this question and performs the same action as when you click "No" . See the previous page to find out what clicking Yes or no causes Excel to do.

Confirm to Excel how it must apply the style
