Conditional Formatting
Conditional formatting is an advanced function that allows you to highlight and customize the appearance of cells within a grid report based on specific criteria. This function is useful for improving data visualization and highlighting important information according to various conditions.
Conditional formatting allows the use of nested conditions with the AND and OR operators. These operators enable the combination of multiple conditions to create more complex and specific formatting rules. There are different conditions depending on the data type, as follows:
Conditional formatting in grid reports can generally be applied using comparisons with both specific values and other columns. This allows for the creation of more dynamic and flexible formatting rules based on the user's needs.
Note: The options This, Next, Last, and Today are not available when comparing with another column.
