In , you can apply formatting rules to change the text or background color of cells based on values. For example, you might want to highlight high-performing sales reps in green and underperforming ones in red.
This formatting makes it easier to interpret the data visually and it lets you spot trends and anomalies without needing to filter or sort. It's particularly useful in grids that contain a lot of data, where key insights can be easily lost.
Click the Conditional formatting button in the top-right toolbar above the grid.
In the Conditional formatting panel, click Add rule.
Select the column(s) to which you want to apply the formatting.
Select the condition, then configure it as required.
Select the text and background colors applied when the condition is met.
Click Apply. The new formatting is applied to the grid.
Review the formatting in the grid to ensure it looks as expected.
Repeat the above steps to add more rules or if you're finished setting up the conditional formatting, click Close. You can reopen this panel at any time to make changes.

For example, suppose you want to quickly see if your Sales Reps are meeting the monthly revenue target. You can use conditional formatting to apply a standard traffic light color scheme, where sales greater than the target display in green and less than the target display in red.
If you change your view of the grid, some formatting mightn't make sense. For example, if you apply rules to the Total column when the Sales Rep dimension is selected, then click the Product dimension, the formatting mightn't make sense as the total values are so different.
Rules are applied in order of top to bottom. In the event of a conflict, the bottom rule overwrites the rule above it.
Click the Conditional Formatting button to open the panel and view the existing rules, then make your changes, and click Apply.
Click the X button on the top-right of the rule card, then click Apply.
