Avoid Manual Formatting with Conditional Formatting

We’ve all seen the worksheet where someone painstakingly color-coded information based on its status, amount, or next steps. But what to do when the next set of data comes in? Why, re-do all that work, of course! But when you learn about Conditional Formatting, you’ll learn that all that work can be done with the quick click of a mouse, and when the conditions change or the data changes, so will the formatting.
