What is Conditional Formatting?

Conditional formatting allows you to set rules for cell formatting. If the rules (conditions)
are met, then the formatting is applied. You can have up to 3 rules in a cell.

For example, you can set conditional formatting so that a cell turns blue if it contains a
value higher than 75 and turns green if it contains a value lower than 50.

Type this data into a new Excel worksheet:

'greater than'

5. In the text box, type a number or a cell reference. In this example, type the value
you want to check 75.
