I show that in help "https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Conditional_Formatting" there is an incomprehensible statement: "Conditional Formatting - Choose Conditional Formatting to define format styles depending on certain conditions. If a style was already assigned to a cell, it remains unchanged. .... ". I can't understand what the last sentence means, beeing usual changing a condition style to a cell having still one. It would seem a false statement but it could hide some limitation that would otherwise better clarified.
I guess it could use clarification -> NEW.
@gmarco: What do you suggest to put there instead? To me, the sentence is quite clear.
(In reply to Adolfo Jayme from comment #2) > @gmarco: What do you suggest to put there instead? To me, the sentence is > quite clear. Hi, as I don't understand the meaning, I cannot suggest anything. If, for you, is quite clear, may you please explain? In IT too, my language (Se a una cella è stato già assegnato uno stile, questo non viene modificato. Lo stile inserito qui viene poi valutato) the meaning is for me incomprehensible: if a cell already has an assigned style then I cannot change that style assigning a different one? It will be after evaluated (!?!)

(In reply to QA Administrators from comment #4) NO change, still present in LO 5.2.3.3 SO Win10. What is th meaning about: "If a style was already assigned to a cell, it remains unchanged. The style entered here is then evaluated." ?
Created attachment 170854 [details] Example File FYI, the Help page is: https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-US/text/scalc/01/05120000.html?&DbPAR=CALC&System=UNIX And the sentence that originated this discussion is still there. I believe the sentence is not wrong, but it deserves some clarification. What it means is that if you had applied a Style to a cell, this Style setting is not lost even if you use conditional formatting. I attached an example to demonstrate: 1) I created a range with numbers from 0 to 100 2) I applied the "Result" style to all cells 3) Later I added a condition to mark with the Style "good" all cells greater than 50 4) Then, if you click any of the cells affected by the conditional formatting, you'll notice that they "remember" the "Result" style 5) If you remove the conditional formatting of these cells, you'll see that they return to the "Result" style
@Rafael please proceed with your suggestion. Further info: the Cell object has separate properties for styles "Cell Style" contains the applied style and "ConditionalFormat", "ConditionalFormatLocal", "ConditionalFormatXML" which describe the conditional format of the cell. Conditional formats overrides cell style, but does not *overwrites* it.
