Highlight Rows Based on Cell Value in Excel
In this tutorial, I will show you how to highlight rows based on a cell value using conditional formatting using different criteria.
This can easily be done using conditional formatting in Excel.
I cover the following examples in this video
— Highlight rows based on the text value
— Hight rows based on number value or date value
— Highlight rows that have blank cells in it
— Highlight rows based on multiple conditions
The technique here uses conditional formatting formula that checks each cell and applies the format if the result is TRUE and does not apply the format if the result is FALSE
