Microsoft Excel is having so many unbelievable capabilities that are not instantly perceived. In which Conditional Formatting is one of the option.
Conditional Formatting is the tool that used to format the cell or a range in the specific condition. We can use this option on the value of the cell or value of formula, it means if you have formula in cell then we can specify the value in “Conditional Formatting” of if we have value in the range then we can use Conditional Formatting by describing the formula to highlight the values.
There are lot ways to use “Conditional Formatting” in our data. We can use it to show the numbers in increasing and decreasing order, to specific Value, to specific numbers, to specific date etc. Also we can highlight the cells by fill the color in cell, by change the font color, by using the data bars, color scales, icon sets.

Its a nice one
Amazing!! Good Work Team!! Keep sharing it with us such amazing tricks 🙂 Looking forward to have something on Excel 2016. 🙂
All these examples would have more value if the formulae were explained. It's all very well doing things by rote, but if you can't understand the principles used then it is of little value.
It helped me do the needful in my job. It is a nice one.
Good tips, from a technical standpoint.
But if you are going to publish tips in English then you should at least hire an editor whose native language is English.

Its good one.Thank you all for the effort done.
I use conditional formatting as part of a work-around I developed for working with dates before 1900. I could enter such dates as text, but then I couldn't do math with them. Instead I take advantage of the fact that the Gregorian calendar repeats every 400 years. 1776 becomes 2176, 1812 becomes 2212, etc. For consistency I do the same with dates after 1900. 1945 becomes 2345, 2015 becomes 2415, etc. I format the dates to display 2-digit years, then to tell the centuries apart I color-code the dates. The 1st half of the 18th century (values 73416 to 91677) is gray, the 2nd half of the 18th century (91678 to 109939) is purple, the 1st half of the 19th century (109940 to 128201) is blue, the 2nd half of the 19th century (128202 to 146463) is green, the 1st half of the 20th century (146464 to 164725) is yellow, the 2nd half of the 20th century (164726 to 182988) is orange, and the 1st half of the 21st century (182989 to 201250) is red.
Nice presentation...
