Highlighting values with a gradient background


Standard These features are available only in the Standard and Professional program configurations.

Important Here we have already learned how to use Standard conditional formatting with images.

Highlighting large orders using a set of pictures

Gradient using two colors

And now let's in the module "Sales" highlight the most important orders using a gradient. To do this, we use the already familiar command "Conditional Formatting" .

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

In the window that appears, the previous condition for formatting data can already be added. If it is, click the ' Edit Rule ' button. And if there are no conditions, then click the ' New Rule ' button.

Change conditional formatting

Next, in the list of special effects, first select the value ' Format all cells based on their values via two color scale '. Then select the colors for the smallest and largest value.

After that, you will return to the previous window, in which you will need to make sure that the special effect will be applied specifically to the ' To pay ' field.

Selecting a field for applying a special effect

This is what the result will look like. The more important the order, the greener the background of the cell will be. Unlike using Standard a set of pictures with such a selection, there are much more shades for intermediate values.

But you can make a gradient using three colors. For this kind of special effect, select ' Format all cells based on their values via three color scale '.
