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. The conditional formatting capabilities of Excel are impressive and can be very powerful. Picture how you want your data to appear, and then figure out the criteria that should be met in order for the formatting to be applied. Whenever the values change on which your conditional formatting is based, Excel changes the formatting to reflect those changed values. Excel 2003 Conditional Formatting provides you with the information that you need in order to start using those conditional formatting capabilities right away. You discover ways to master Excel's powerful conditional criteria and leverage those criteria in ways you never before considered.
