Join Curt Frye for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating rule-based conditional formats, part of Excel for Mac 2016 Essential Training.
- [Voiceover] Organizations of all kinds,…whether they are corporations, charities,…or social clubs, need to keep track…of how the group is doing.…You can use conditional formats,…which change a cell's appearance…based on the value it contains,…to indicate how your results compare to your targets.…In this movie I will show you how to…create conditional formats based on a rule.…I have a list of hotel occupancy rates…for April 1, 2015, through April 11 of the same year,…and what I'd like to do is to format any cells…in the range B4 through B14 that…contain a value of greater than 85%.…
So, I'm assuming that our goal capacity…or occupancy rate is 85%,…and I'd like to highlight anything greater than that.…To apply a conditional formatting rule…I will select cells B4 through B14,…and then, on the Home tab of the Ribbon,…I'll click the 'Conditional Formatting' button…and point to 'Highlight Cells Rules'.…Doing so displays a list of rule types that I can create.…I want to highlight any cells with a value greater than 85%,…
