Conditional formatting is something you would apply to a range of cells that contains a value that you would like to highlight. You would click on the Conditional Formatting button, which is located under the "Home" tab of Excel. After clicking on the button, you could choose the options to either highlight the cell or just the text or numbers within.

You can use this function to highlight a particular rule within a range of cells, or within a whole spread sheet, or a workbook.
