Numbers 10.2 Conditional Formatting not working

Something changed. Now when I set up a new rule I can't type a cell reference or just click the cell. To get a cell reference I first had to click a little icon on the right to "Type a value for this rule" then "f33" works.

I didn't even notice that button for text entry - Thanks. I don't remember having to click that from previous conditional formatting - thought I could just type in the field or click on the cell I wanted to reference so I thought it wasn't working.

Welcome, hank3737, to Apple Support Communities!


So, with Numbers 10.2 on a Mac (iMac?) you seem to be having some trouble with setting a Cell or Cells for Conditional Formatting.


We should be able to help you, here!


I haven’t noticed any change in this behavior with any of the latest versions of Numbers.


So, when you add a new comparison-type Rule, do you not see the little, pale-blue button on the right, within the text entry field?


What you describe as «I first had to click a little icon on the right to "Type a value for this rule"» sure seems to describe what I still see.


Could you please provide a screenshot of what you are seeing, when you select a new comparison-type Rule?
