The currently selected column is shown and you can enter or change:
• Visual Feedback to determine how the formatting set previously is to be applied. This may be to the:
o Cell that matches the condition
o entire Row or Column containing a cell that matches the condition
o Sub-total; or Total if the data it contains matches the condition.
• Background sets the background color from the cell if the condition is met so that certain conditions are highlighted.
• Hide Cell’s Contents is checked if the cell’s data is not displayed, even though its format may depend on that content. Thus, for example, a cell may be set to red, amber or green to highlight priority or seriousness without the need to show the value.
• Text Color, Bold or Italic format the text in the cell if the condition is met.
• Rules are listed if they exist and can be amended or deleted by clicking . Click Add Rule to create additional rules and separate successive ones with AND if both need to be met or OR if either has to be met.
For each rule:
o click if the rule is to check data in another column rather than the selected one. If so, choose one from those listed.
o select from the dropdown list an operator that determines how data is to be matched (such as equal, not equal or contained somewhere in the field).
o enter a value to be matched against or click #FN# to select a function that defines particular data values.
On completion, click Apply to set the condition.
