[@ldmlhome]

I’ll never get the 2 hours I spent last week trying to get this to work BUT you have solved the headache that I got from that and I’ll NEVER get this particular headache again. As I’ve stated before YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!

[@dkt22190]

Your videos have genuinely helped me demystify Excel! You have been that tutor that I was always looking for! Genuinely useful and amazing videos! Please keep doing this. Even your shorts have been extremely useful.

[@meshell7987]

Thank you, Leila, for explaining everything so simple and in easy to understand way! Also, your voice is so pleasant, you are not in a hurry, and I can understand everything without the need to give a pause in order to assimilate. You are my favorite excel trainer :) Thank you and keep the same way!

[@MrNoBSgiven]

Leila, you are a true Goddess of Excel. Same as for others, you demystified the conditional formatting for me today. Thank you.

[@prin4520]

Just wanted to thank you, your tutorials have been my favorite because you explain things so usefully! ❤️

[@cassioalexan]

I wish I knew that when I was learning the basics of Excel, trying to find the correct way to apply this Conditional Format! Thanks, Leila!!

[@andywrentmore856]

I've written excel macros for over 20 years and never knew the tips I learned from this video. Personally, a game changer.

[@harishn3331]

She is unbelievable!!! The is the best example to show how the explanation should be made on a particular topic. Best tutor for excel Thank you Leila

[@CaseyToland]

I always struggled with these and this video made it so much easier to grasp. The trick to copy the formula and drag it across cells to see how it performed was perfect. Thank you.

[@ogrammer]

Thank you so much. I was having trouble getting my formatting to apply to the other rows. This was the 4th video I watched and the only one that covered the removal of the $.

[@egasbritesdasilva6773]

thank you for your video makes my work easier and more fun to read, greetings from us in Dili, Timor-Leste, keep up the good work

[@godfredotoo1555]

I am not only fascinated about how you have explained this lesson, but I am also impressed about your video editting skills. You are awesome.

[@mohammadashiq9996]

Thank you Leila, I love the simplicity.

[@vijayarjunwadkar]

I missed your videos for last 2 weeks due to some work occupancy, but going to watch them soon! And this one of course is best as usual! Your appropriate examples with just enough explanation makes every task so simple to perform! Keep it up! 😊👍

[@LeilaGharani]

Welcome back! Thank you Vijay 😊

[@brazilbeyondtheheadlines]

This is great, thank you Leila! I can binge watch your channel for hours, I learn so much!

[@santhoshsubbiah8120]

Thankyou so much leila your courses never cease to amaze me, so calm and insightful at the same time

[@anthonysais2580]

Highly informative Leila! I was not aware of conditional formatting and its great uses here. I'm glad I subscribed; even though I am a beginner- your tips motivate me to learn more in excel.

[@new_moon_12]

Your video's a life save. Thank you so much. This is such a little bug, but a real big headache. Was literally trying to figure this out for over half n hour.

[@andrevanopstal2143]

I have been using this method for a long time. The way you explain this is to the point and very easy to understand. Congratulations.

[@wayneedmondson1065]

Hi Leila. Great explanation! You make it very clear and understandable. Great bonus copy/paste formatting tips too. Thanks for sharing :)) Thumbs up!!

[@miguelplg19]

Thank you for creating and posting these tutorials. Your knowledge has helped me several times over, and your teaching method is clear and very precise. Thanks again!!!

[@yogibearstie]

Thank you. Your video reminded me how to fix some cells with broken conditional formatting formulas. All better.

[@daecarman67]

You are my go to for anything Excel. Amazing tutorial. Thank you! This helped my situation.

[@ryco2000uk]

Leila you are so good, you are amazing. nobody explains excel better than you, thank you so much ive learnt bundles

[@hemantbhalsing6823]

Really helped me. I require this kind of formatting in my workplace. This was super helpful. Thanks a ton !!!

[@piggyware]

Thank you, that it starts from the first cell in the selection was an important lesson for me.

[@yogibearstie]

With all of the knowledge you have generously shared in so many videos I was able to create drop down lists and date fields in a Word document and then copy them into an Outlook email and save it as a Template. I now have a very reusable form when creating assignments. I couldn’t find these objects within Outlook, but copy/paste works. I bet you would do it 100x smarter though.

[@doctorsangeeth]

@Leila Gharani, you make the most awesome tutorials of any genre. Short effective and beautifully presented. Thanks a lot.

[@ijirving]

This just saved me such a headache at work. EXACTLY the problem I was having. Thank you!

[@romeshnixByte]

i got the benifit of watching this video as i was needing to colour some cells automatically. Thank you so much

[@sethjuarez333]

Love what you do, always concise and helpful. I would love you to add another level to this. Copying the conditional formatting when the second set of data is on another worksheet. Currently, I have to copy numbers and formatting to the second sheet, then adjust manually the cell reference on the second sheet. Is there a trick you could show about managing conditional formats across multiple sheets?

[@mpart_woodlathe-stuff]

Thank you very much Leila. I must've spent 2 days (off and on) trying to get conditional formatting to work. That is, until I saw yours with all the little nuances that were causing me so much grief. Again, thank you

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad it was helpful.

[@charlescaison4376]

Your videos have saved me many times. This one included. I am grateful that you are out there making your content.

[@LeilaGharani]

I appreciate that, Charles!

[@sachinrv1]

The keyboard short cut key for conditional formatting is (well it's not that short cut as such) ALT+H, L then N for conditional formatting new rule, with keyboard select last option "use formula to determine" and then ALT+O for formula bar activity. Using this will make you look like a Pro (hahaha) Thanks for sharing Leila :)

[@mezianeremila454]

Again it took me months not to say years of practicing to know all these tricks and you compiled it a short 10 mn video, great job as ever thank you very much Leila...

[@LeilaGharani]

Great to hear!

[@TheSlarge]

A phenomenal piece of work. Thank you.

[@jewelhannathomas]

Leila, your videos are very easy to understand. Thankyou!

[@tapanjayswal1005]

I always struggling with condition formatting, great help, thanks

[@OrvilleCota]

Got to learn something new today. Thanks Leila.

[@robertthompson7334]

Thanks, Leila for another great video. One quick correction. It's minor, but screw things up if that's the problem. Rule 2 (at 1:54) is often correct, but not always. The correct rule is that the format is always from the point of view of the cell which has the focus. In the example given (and most times this is true) it happens to be the first cell of the selection (cell B6 as noted just below the word "Clipboard" in the home ribbon). But depending on how you select your range, it could be the last cell or some other cell.

[@adjarahma706]

Best tutorial. I was stoke with my assignment and looking for a clear explanation for the conditional formating using formula and you are the one who explained it very clearly. May ALLAH bless you.

[@mattschoular8844]

I have always found Conditional FormTing via formulas to be challenging. This is a great explanation. Nice shout out to Mike Girvin and ExcelIsFun. You both deserve more credit than I can offer with a "Like" and a comment. Keep up the great work, it is appreciated.

[@LeilaGharani]

Like and a comment is all the credit I need. Thank you for watching!

[@jimtsai7545]

Very clearly explained. Followed the instructions and got it done in one try. 🙏🙏🙏

[@w2class]

Great clarification of how to apply conditional formatting. Thanks, Leila.

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad you enjoyed it, Anthony!

[@ibrahimismayilov9489]

Many thanks Leila! As always very useful.

[@djbcybertench]

Your tutorials are fantastic ! The right pace and right balance of enthusiasm. I can't see any of your tutorials on Excel cell styles and / or workbook styles (?) I've used these but as always, via your tutorials, I'm probably "scratching the surface" of what could be done. Comments or tutorials welcome...

[@LeilaGharani]

Wow, thanks David!

[@davidchip6075]

I was looking for one solutionf googling the resolution, but after one and a half hour, I found your video and helped me in 5 minutes.... thank you!

[@wasiqfaiz]

Awesome, I was looking for this formula. Thanks

[@surindersingh_A25]

Hello ma'am I ve been watching some of your videos for a long. At first it was hard to me to understand, gradually I am understandable to that. Your ideas are advanced at the same time works for me . Now I use the way you say. Thank you so much for creating stuff like that.

[@bestscenes1469]

This Tutorial is super Helpful. Thanks a lot Leila

[@dyingimmortal]

I wish real life scenarios were as straight forward as the example you've used, but this is a good video for getting the basic ideas, and more so for non-IT professionals who use XLS much less comparatively.

[@artsmith1347]

This was very helpful. I have found the mysteries of conditional formatting to be confusing for years. Thank you.

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad it was helpful!

[@michaelsmith935]

This has always been difficult for me to do. Nice clean solution. Thanks. Great video!

[@robmoore2780]

I have been working in Excel now since it first came out and replaced SuperCalc (anyone remember that?). I never could get my head around conditional formatting until I watched this video. thank you so much, it was so simple to follow.

[@silverlicious2086]

Very useful tip. Thanks Leila. Cheers from Loveland, Ohio. (city near Cincinnati)

[@barryspry6558]

Thank you, Leila. I always enjoy your videos. I was surprised by one of your older videos showing Bryon Smedley. I worked at the same company with Bryon years ago. He was a company software trainer. I always enjoyed his classes, as well.

[@LeilaGharani]

Oh wow! Bryon is the best.

[@Jules-ip1jh]
