Agile Excel: Conditional Formatting in Excel (Video) (Course Id 2550)

The Conditional Formatting feature in Excel enables you to draw attention to different aspects of your data by applying on-demand colors, number formatting, and borders. In this presentation author and Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, helps you delve into and master the art of conditional formatting. Nuances such as identifying duplicate values, filtering by color or icon, and creating in-cell charts with Data bars will be covered. You'll also see how to create formula-based Conditional Formatting rules.

David is the author of “Microsoft Excel 365 for Dummies”, “Exploring Microsoft Excel’s Hidden Treasures”, and has written or co-authored six other books. He demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the subscription-based Excel for Microsoft 365. David draws your attention to any differences in Excel 2021, 2019 or 2016 during the presentation and in his detailed handouts. The handouts include an Excel workbook with most of the examples he uses during his demonstrations.

Excel for Microsoft 365 is a subscription-based product that receives periodic feature updates. Conversely, perpetually licensed versions have year numbers in their names and do not receive any feature updates.
