Excel Conditional Formatting: Highlight Cells Rules Explained

A comprehensive tutorial on how to use conditional formatting in Excel. I explain the different options in the Highlight Cells Rules group of conditional formatting, starting with Equal To, demonstrating how to use this to highlight cells with a certain value, before moving on to Text That Contains, which highlights cells containing a specific string of text.

I also demonstrate how to use Greater Than, Less Than, and Between, which are typically used for dates or numbers and after that I show how to clear formatting rules from selected cells or the entire worksheet.

The video concludes with an explanation of how to use Date Occurring to highlight cells containing a specific date. I provide numerous step-by-step instructions and helpful tips throughout the video.
