Conditional formatting can be changed in spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets by following these steps:
1. Select the range of cells where conditional formatting has been applied.
2. Go to the Home tab and click on Conditional Formatting in the toolbar.
3. Choose “Manage Rules” or “Clear Rules” depending on the required action.
4. In the Manage Rules dialog box, you can:
\hspace*{0.5cm}– Edit an existing rule by clicking on it and choosing “Edit Rule”
\hspace*{0.5cm}– Change the condition, cell range, or formatting style
\hspace*{0.5cm}– Rearrange rule priority using the arrows
5. Click OK or Apply to confirm changes.
6. You can also use the “New Rule” option to add more formatting criteria.
Changing conditional formatting allows users to visually analyze data by applying colors or icons based on updated criteria.
