Solution

The quickest way for Sean to apply the same Conditional Formatting rules to another column in his worksheet is by using the Format Painter. Here are the steps:

  1. Click on the cell with the formatting you want to copy.
  2. Click on the Format Painter button on the Home tab in Excel. The cursor will change to a paintbrush.
  3. Click on the column where you want to apply the formatting. The formatting will be copied to the selected column.

Alternatively, Sean can also copy and paste the original column and then delete the content of the cells using the Clear tool. However, this method might not be as quick and efficient as using the Format Painter.

Recreating the Conditional Formatting rules for the next column is not the quickest way and can be time-consuming, especially if the rules are complex.
