Answer 1

I found an easy solution for this! Once you have added your conditional formatting, simply add Filtering to your table, then click the filter (down arrow) on any of the Header columns > click Filter by Color > choose color > select all > choose same background color as background > Remove Filtering. Then you will go back to Conditional Formatting, remove the rule and you will still have the colors on the cells that the conditional formatting did, just without all of the extra load of actually having the Conditional Formatting rule set. I hope that helps and isn't too confusing. I forgot to mention that this specific example was related to background colors, but you can also filter on text colors as well.

First copy then look for "paste all" option. It worked for me.

Answer 3

1. Press CTRL+C on the cell(s) you want to copy.
2. Press ALT > E > S > U on the cell(s) you want the value(s) to be pasted.

The value(s) and the formatting will be pasted, but not the conditional formatting rule(s).

Just discovered an easy way: Copy the table to MS Word and copy it back to excel :D

Copy and paste to Google Sheets, then copy and paste back into Excel.

Answer 6

The Excel copy / Word paste/ copy/ Excel paste again is the only quick way of doing this.
