What can you apply conditional formatting to?
You apply conditional formatting to as many cells on a worksheet as you like.
How do you use multiple IFs in Excel?
It really depends on what it is you are trying to do. If you have a combined set of multiple conditions, using IF functions may work. IF functions may be nested, meaning that another IF function could form part of the True or False values. As an overall example, if in the cell B3 you had a value which must be multiplied by 10 if it is over 100 or else multiplied by 5 if greater than 50 or by 3 if less than or equal to 50, we will then as part of the False one IF value have to evaluate if B3 is over 50 or not, having already discovered that it is less than 100. The function will include a nested IF function as its False value which must include the same 3 component parts as any IF function: =IF(B3>100, B3*10, IF(B3>50, B3*5, B3*3) ) Our Condition and True values are the same as a normal IF, but our False value is itself an IF function having a Condition, True and False values. Note that we also have 2 brackets at the end to close the 2 IF functions. The final bracket corresponds to the opening of the first IF. When using multiple IF functions you will always have one less IF than the amount of conditions. In the example given we had 3 possible categories, but the formula only required 2 IF functions. Every IF eliminates one possibility. When the second last possibility has been eliminated, as there is only 1 remaining possibility left, it does not need a further IF function to test if it is True. The final possibility never needs to be tested for. In our example we had 3 possibilities. If our value is not over 100 and not over 50 then it must be less than 50, so we do not need to check for that possibility. IF functions may be nested quite deeply at times and require careful thought at all times. It is easy to make a mistake, so they should be thoroughly tested. It is not a good idea to nest too many IF functions. In some cases, using another method might be more appropriate, such as using VLOOKUP. It really depends on what it is that you are trying to achieve, so each case is different.
How do you apply formatting in Excel?
You can do it in a few ways. First of all you always need to select the cells you are formatting. Press Ctrl - 1 to open the Format Cells dialog box. From there you can pick a wide variety of formatting to apply. You can also use conditional formatting to format cells based on conditions. Formatting can also be pasted from cells that have already formatted using the Format Painter.
What is the quickest way to copy formatting from a selected cell to two other cells on the same worksheet?
Use the Format Painter. If the two cells the formatting is to be applied to are beside each other, one click on the Format Painter while on the cell that has the formatting is sufficient to apply the formatting by selecting both cells. If the two cells the formatting is to be applied to are not beside each other, the double click on the Format Painter and then individually click on the two cells to have formatting applied to them.

When you want cells to have different formatting depending on their contents you can apply formatting?
This is a statement referring to conditional formatting, but is not a question. If conditional formatting is not what you are looking for, then ask again, using words that make it clear what you want to know.
What does formatting only in Excel mean?
It is possible to copy just the formatting of one cell on to others. Normally when you copy you copy the formula, but sometimes you may just want to use the formatting from one cell. So you can take the "formatting only" and apply it to the other cells. This will change the format of the cells, but not what is actually in them.

What button copies multiple formats from selected cells to other cells?
The button that you can use to apply multiple formatting style to selected cell is called format painter (the icon is a little brush on the "standard" toolbar). The way it works is as follows: 1/ select an area of the spreadsheet that already have the formatting that you want to use. 2/ click on the format painter button on the standard toolbar. 3/ select the area of the spreadsheet where you want to copy the formatting. That's all. Note that if you want to apply the same formatting in several places, you can double click on the format painter button in step 2/ instead of a single click. Then you can do step 3/ several times. When you are finished, click again on the format painter button to deactivate it.
