How to change the precedence of conditional format
When two formats specify different settings for the same cell, the most recently created format takes precedence. For example, when you set the background color for
a column to blue, and then set the background color for a row to red, the intersecting cell has a red background.
The order of the formats in the Conditional Formats Crosstab | Table page determines which format is applied in case of a conflict. The higher format in the list
takes precedence over lower formats.
