Conditional Formatting
Define value-dependent rules and apply them as attributes within the selected cells.
From the toolbar, click the Conditional Formatting icon, , to display the panel.
You can use this dialog to easily detect critical key point performance indicators (KPI's). For example, in the image below, the first rule defines the content of cells B4 through E5 to have a green cell color if the value of those cells is greater than 300, or yellow if the value of those cells is greater than 500. Rules are executed in order of appearance.
When appending or inserting columns, TableView expands the range syntax instead of adding new ranges. For example, instead of displaying the defined range as B4 D4 B5 D5 F4 F5 H4 H5, TableView displays the range as B4:H5.
TableView automatically expands the range over cells with strings.
