Conditional Formatting

Conditional formatting allows cells to display in different colors depending on their values. For example, a range can be formatted so that cells with a value of 1 appear red, 2 appear amber, and 3 appear green. To set this up, select the range, choose conditional formatting, select "cell value is equal to" and the value (like 1), choose the color (like red), and repeat for each value until all options are added. Then the cells will automatically update their colors based on the numbers entered.
