Conditional Formatting: Julie Ann S. Esparagoza

Conditional formatting allows users to automatically format cells that meet certain criteria. It can change font colors of negative values, background colors of duplicate values, and other formatting based on cell values, saving the trouble of manually formatting large datasets or frequently changing values. Some examples include highlighting overdue tasks in red or underperforming sales figures in yellow. Conditional formatting is applied through Excel's conditional formatting menu or button where users select criteria and formatting.
