OUTLINE
Conditional formatting in Excel allows you to automatically apply formatting such as colours, icons, and data bars, to one or more cells, in order to highlight specific data in your spreadsheet.
Applying conditional formatting to your data can not only help make your data easier to read, it will also allow you to isolate and then sort and filter your data to get specific results. In this training session you will follow a series of conditional formatting examples using both pre-set functions as well as applying a variety of formulas for more advanced formatting.
- Naming ranges to use in formulas
- Using pre-set conditional formatting rules
- Modifying pre-set rules
- Using a variety of formulas to create conditional formatting rules
