Conditional formatting is a method of formatting a cell based on its value. So you can do things like have the cell in different colours for values above or below a value, or if it is equal to a value and so on. So you could have a list of exam results that you want to show in red if they are fails and in green if they are passes. So if the pass mark is 40, then anything greater or equal to 40 can be set as a condition, and then format the cell to be green. If it is less than 40 would be another condition for which the cell will be set to red. Start by selecting the cell or cells you want to apply conditional formatting to. Then go to the Format menu, and you will find Conditional Formatting on it. You can then start setting the conditions you want and the formatting that you want for those conditions.
Conditional formatting allows you to change the formatting of a cell based on the values that are in it. For example, you might have a list of exam scores, that you want to be displayed in red if they are fails and in green if they are passes. You could use conditional formatting to achieve this. The cell will automatically format itself based on its value, so if you change the value it can change its formatting. So if 40 was a pass, then anything below 40 would be set to red and anything from 40 up will be in green. Your conditions are the scores and the formatting can be the colours you want.

To do is, you select the cells you want first. The go to the Format menu and pick Conditional Formatting. You can then set the conditions that you want for the formatting and then the formatting you want applied when those conditions are met.
