Description war 2012-04-01 06:23:42 UTC
Problem description: 

Conditionally formatting cells depending on their content does not work.

Steps to reproduce:
1. enter 1 .. 4 in cells A1..A4
2. select A1..A3
3. conditionally format
 if cell contains 1 .. background green
 if cell contains 2 .. background yellow
 if cell contains 3 .. background red
 else no background color

Current behavior:
no cell gets any background

Expected behavior:
cells A1 - A3 should have background green, yellow, red.
If cell A1 changed to 4, cell background should change to nothing and if A2 changed to 1 cell background should be green (and so on).

Platform (if different from the browser): 
MacbookPro 6,2 with Ubuntu 12.04 (11.10)
              
Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0


This was reported over launchpad ever since 3.0. It never got fixed. If it cannot be fixed, take the function out of the menu.

I can't confirm this behavior. Can you please attach a test document where this happens.

Nice with numbers,

try a b c instead.

It still does not work
Comment 5 starmatz71 2012-04-21 03:02:30 UTC
You have to insert "a", "b" and "c" (with capitals) in the conditional format window instead of plain a,b or c.

This works for me.

Has not been confirmed, sample document  missing, probably user error.

@reporter:
