If you made a mistake, whilst the conditional formatting dialog is showing,
EITHER
click on the colour you were formatting, click "delete rule", then start again with new rule.
OR
click on the colour you were formatting, click "edit rule" and change either the formula in the box OR click Ok and change the "applies to" range. Perhaps do both.
