Advanced Excel Conditional Formatting with Mixed and Absolute References

In this video, I demonstrate an advanced method of using Conditional Formatting in Excel to identify numbers over a specific value. Unlike the conventional approach, I employ Mixed and Absolute References to enhance precision and flexibility.

This tutorial covers selecting the relevant data, applying Conditional Formatting with both basic greater than rules and a formula-based method that incorporates references.

I highlight the benefits of this advanced method, especially its clarity and ease of modification, by changing one reference cell value. This video is aimed at providing a clearer and more efficient way of utilizing Conditional Formatting in Excel, suitable for both personal use and sharing spreadsheets with others.

I recently starting viewing some of your Excel videos, and I think you do a great job of presenting the materials. The videos are concise and to the point, without any fluff. I appreciate that from you. I use conditional formatting in a lot of my spreadsheets to make various items standout and become more attention getting. One thing I do in some of my spreadsheets is to conditional format an entire row, or range of columns in a row, to become highlighted based on the conditions I've set for a particular column. When I have set the conditions for the selected column I then apply that condition for the other columns in that row by going to the "Applies to" field and I enter (for example) =$c$8:$f$23. That range will then impart the conditional formatting to the entire selected range of cells. I hope I've expressed this difference in a way that is understandable for all 🙂!
