And now let's in the module "Sales" change the font for those orders that have a debt. Then the employees will definitely not forget to take a surcharge. We go to the command we already know "Conditional Formatting" .

Important Please read why you will not be able to read the instructions in parallel and work in the window that appears.

Even though we already have one condition to highlight the values in the table, click the ' New Rule ' button to add a new condition. In this example, we'll show you how multiple rules for conditional formatting can be combined.

Adding a second condition to highlight values

In the window that appears, select the special effect ' Format only cells that contain '. Then select the comparison sign ' Greater Than '. Set the value to ' 0 '. The condition will be: ' the value is greater than zero '. And in the end it remains only to adjust the font for such values by clicking on the ' Format ' button.

Change font for textbox

There are special situations where you want to change the font in a text box . For example, let's enter the module "Clients" and pay attention to the field "Mobile" phone. You can make it so that customers with phone numbers of a certain cellular operator, for example, starting with ' +1801 ', are highlighted.

Choose a command "Conditional Formatting" . Then we add a new formatting rule ' Use a formula to determine which cells to format '.
