Conditional Formatting

Conditional formatting in Excel is like giving your data a visual makeover. It allows you to automatically apply specific formatting to cells that meet certain criteria.

This feature makes it easier to spot patterns, trends, and outliers in your data, turning a sea of numbers into insightful, color-coded information.
