Conditional formatting in Microsoft Excel allows you to apply lots of different effects on cells based on their individual and a given condition. Here's a simple way to apply conditional formatting to your document.
What is conditional formatting?
In Excel, conditional formatting is the ability to apply various effects (such as color, etc.) and post-treatment for a range of cells depending on if each cell has met or not a given condition. For example, you may find it useful to automatically color in red all the cells with a negative result.
How to apply conditional formatting?
- Select the range of cells to that you want to apply conditional formatting.
- On the Home tab, click on Conditional Formatting.
- Select the actions to be performed depending on the conditions to meet.
