Conditional Formatting in Excel allows you to format cells based on the value of the cell. So, most conditional formatting in Excel is Dynamic Conditional formatting. This is because the formatting will change as the values of the cells change. Excel's conditional formatting option has many built-in rules. These rules allow you to format cells based on values such as the Top or Bottom value to name a few. And you can also set the formatting to different icon sets too. Conditional Formatting is often a finishing touch. It can give a spreadsheet or model that professional look. It can also be used to highlight important data that needs to stand out on your reports. In the video below you will learn how to apply conditional formatting by using a formula. When you use a formula to determine conditional formatting, this formula must return a true or false result. So the formula must be some sort of logical function. When the conditions of the formula are found to be true, the formatting will be applied to the cells. When the conditions are found to be false, formatting will not be applied.
