    Conditional Format does not Refresh

    Hello,

    Encountered an issue with how Excel 2007 updates/refreshes conditional formatting, description below:

    1.) Data validation list set up in a cell with two user options
    2.) Conditional format set as follows:

    Option 1: Format cell as number
    Option 2: Format cell as percent

    3.) Once data validation is set and "Apply" button chosen, the cell is correctly formatted. Once option 1 is chosen however, it will not revert back to the % when option 2 is selected.
    4.) The only way to get it to update as a % is to select any cell in the workbook, hit F2, and Enter. Or you can go back through the conditional formatting wizard.

    Attached a very basic workbook that displays the issue and aligns with example above.

    Thanks for any help!
