You apply conditional formatting to as many cells on a worksheet as you like.
conditional formatting
It is called formatting. You first select the cells you want to format. Then you go to the Format menu and pick the formatting option you want to use.
Conditional Formatting.
Assigning formats certainly sounds like formatting to me.

It is a toolbar that has the icons that provide the various formatting settings for cells, columns, rows and data in Excel. For example, it can allow you to change the colours of rows, cells and columns. It allows you to change fonts. It allows you to set the alignment for data in cells. It allows you apply borders to cells. It allows you to change the format of numbers, like adjusting the amount of decimals they have or changing them to percentage format. All of these and other things can be done with it.
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.
To apply customized conditional formats to a range of cells in a worksheet, first select the desired range. Then, go to the Home tab, click on "Conditional Formatting," and choose "New Rule." From there, you can select a rule type (such as "Use a formula to determine which cells to format") and customize the formatting options based on specific criteria. Finally, set your conditions and formatting styles, then click "OK" to apply the rule.
You do not need to use a legend with conditional formatting. Depending on why you are using conditional formatting and what it is doing, you could put something on the sheet to indicate the significance of the formatting if it was not obvious. You could put something into a cell or a text box.

You may be referring to the format painter button, which has a little paintbrush on it. What it does is take the formatting from one cell or a set of cells, and applies it to other cells. So if you do something like put a number into a cell, bold it, colour the cell red, format the number to 2 decimal places and change the font size, that cell will have that formatting. To do the same for other cells may take some time. So what you can do is first select that cell and click on the format painter button. Then you would select a range of cells that you want to apply that formatting to. It will immediately format all the cells to be the same as the original one. It won't change any numbers or formulas in those cells, just change the formatting. So it is painting the formatting of one cell onto other cells.
