Using Conditional Formatting to Highlight Cells

**Conditional Formatting** allows you to format cells automatically based on certain conditions, such as highlighting values greater than a specific number or marking duplicates. It helps in visually analyzing and understanding data.

Steps to Apply Conditional Formatting

  • Step 1: Select the range of cells you want to format.
  • Step 2: Go to the Home tab and click Conditional Formatting.
  • Step 3: Choose a rule (e.g., "Highlight Cells Greater Than").
  • Step 4: Define the condition and formatting style, then click OK.
  • Step 5: The cells matching the condition are automatically formatted.
