Conditional Formatting in Google Sheets

Google Sheets now has more powerful conditional formatting options.
  • Ability to add gradient conditional formatting rules (e.g. green -> orange, where the lowest numbers are shaded green and the highest are shaded orange, with gradient shades in between
  • More style choices like bolding, striking through, and italicizing text based on conditional formatting rules
  • A new look for the conditional formatting editing pane
  • Import/export of color scale conditional formatting

To use the conditional formatting tools:
  1. Click on "format"
  2. In the drop down menu, click on "conditional formatting"
  3. Choose your formatting options in the pane that appears on the right.
