Conditional formatting in a table, color scale with only 1 value
Hello everybody,
I'm trying to apply a color scale conditionnal formatting to each of my column in this table:
Starting from green with the lowest value and red to the highest. The first 4 column are working as intended, however, if there is only 1 value in a column, it immediatly start with the highest value(red). Any way this start with the lowest value (Green)
Here are the setting for the formating:
Thank you
Hi Tedua ,
The default value of unique value is the maximum value. When the data of the column is updated, for example, the value of this column is not unique after the next update, the color will be adjusted automatically.
If you have only unique values in this column, you can add colors in other ways.

Tedua , I think that is the default behavior, when there is one value if would be considered highest
Thank you, do you know of any way to circumvent this?

I am also having the same issue as Tedua with my data that is all zero's it is defaulting to the highest value (red) when they all should be formatted green as the lowest value.
I have tried changing the Deault formatting and changing the Minimum from lowest to custom and still it is showing as red
Is there anyway around this?
