Conditional Formatting

Top  Previous  Next

Once data is added to the pivot, it can be formatted in a variety of ways to help visualize otherwise static data points. For instance, you can highlight cells that meet certain defined criteria.

 

Formatting can be added, edited and cleared/deleted by clicking Edit Rules from the toolbar or by hovering over the data item and clicking the data item menu drop-down.

 

Format Rules include:

 

Value - Add a formatting rule based on an evaluation of static value (e.g. >, <, <=, >=, etc.)
Top/Bottom - Add formatting based on the evaluation of the topmost or bottommost value
Average - Add formatting rule based on an evaluation of average (e.g. >, <, <=, >=, etc.)
Expression - Build an expression to apply formatting (advanced)
Icon Ranges - Apply icons to items based on an evaluation of a range
Color Ranges - Apply colors to items based on an evaluation of a range
Gradient - Apply a color gradient to items based on an evaluation of a range
Bar - Displays a visual representation of a value using a bar. Bars can be colored based on positive or negative values.
Bar Color Ranges - Displays a visual representation of a value using a bar. Bars are colored with the color set based on an evaluation of range
Bar Gradient Ranges - Displays a visual representation of a value using a bar. Bars are colored with the gradient color set based on an evaluation of range
