Select if you want Excel to highlight the selected cells that have the top ten values, the top 10% values, the bottom ten values, the bottom 10% values, above average values, or below average values. To apply Top/Bottom Rules, go to the Home tab. In the Conditional Formatting dropdown menu, select Top/Bottom Rules. When you apply top/bottom formatting, you instruct Excel to highlight cells that hold the top values in your selected data – or that hold the bottom values in your selected data.

In this article, we are going to learn more about conditional formatting. Note that we did not include column letters in the formula since we want every column of each row to be included.Conditional formatting is another way to visualize your data. For example, you can color code cells based on their value. In this example, we assume that row 3 is the first row and row 400 is the last row that you want the conditional formatting to be applied to. Then type a range into the Applies to textbox as shown. If the word "student" is not the only thing in your target cell, then use the following formula instead: =ISNUMBER(SEARCH("student",$D3)) Just change the 3 to another row number if this is not the case. You said you were looking for the word "student" in column D, and I have assumed that row 3 is the first row that you want this conditional formatting to be applied. button to choose your conditional format (blue text with no fill). Select Use a formula to determine which cells to format, enter the formula as shown below, and then click the Format. (Pictures taken from mix of Windows and Mac versions where possible.)
