Excel Dynamic Conditional Formatting Tricks
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.

Hi Acidyo!
Honestly, these global changes in coaches create intrigue, Manchester made a good statement about himself in the last match with PSG, I did not expect that everything would be so extravagant if you were honest, although what can I say, after Ajax crushed Real Madrid, I’m not surprised at anything . I have been a Juve fan for 18 years, and to be honest, I believe that they will be able to give an adequate response to Atletico in the next match, in any case, I am for beautiful, honest football, and the outcome of the Champions League matches is completely unpredictable!
There are also a lot of intrigues in the Premier League, and this is very good!
I live in Russia, in the South, near Krasnodar, and I am going to the match Krasnodar - Vlensiya which will take place on March 14, I hope to see a decent game, and I think I will tell about the match, about the stadium mood and about the game as a whole.
Hug.
