Excel allows you to store, calculate, format, and otherwise work with values. How you present your data is important to how it is used. The conditional formatting features of Excel allow you to change how your data is presented based upon the characteristics of the data itself. For instance, you might want the text in a cell to be bold if the value is above some threshold or you might want the typeface to be red if the value is negative.
