First, I like the complex test for many scenarios.

I was confused by the #6 and #10 column names. I did not read it
carefully, saw numbers and expected row numbers. I would suggest to use
Calc column names 'J' and 'P' instead on the #N indexes ;-)

You could also use the colors for identification, for example, the
tester need to modify cells with the red top and bottom borders.

Otherwise, I wonder if we could optimize the test a bit. In the current
state, you need to click many times just to switch between two values.

One possibility would be to create static test. You crate many rows with
conditional and expected formatting. Some rows might have passing and
some failing condition. It would work if the conditional formatting is
calculated on document load. You might double check this with Markus.

If you really want to do it interactive, it would be better to change
all states by a single selection. You might create one selection box
somewhere, e.g. C5 and change all the values in columns J, L, P, ...
according to this state. For example, using =IF(C5>=1,2,0) in the cell
J6. Then you could change just A1 and visually verify all affected
columns. This will do the same test many times faster and it will be
much easier to describe,
