Using Conditional Formatting for Errors
Svep för att visa menyn
After learning how to spot outliers manually, the next step is to make this process faster and more visual. When working with larger datasets, it becomes difficult to notice every issue just by looking at the data.
This is where Conditional Formatting becomes extremely useful.
Conditional Formatting allows you to automatically highlight cells based on specific rules. Instead of scanning the table manually, Excel visually marks values that meet certain conditions, such as duplicates, unusually high numbers, or errors.
How It Works
You select a column, apply a rule (for example, “greater than”), and define a condition. Excel then scans the data and highlights all cells that match that condition.
This makes your dataset more visual and interactive, allowing problematic values to stand out immediately.
Task
Apply Conditional Formatting to the dataset.
Highlight values in the Quantity column that are greater than 2, values in the Total column that are greater than 4000.
Use Home → Conditional Formatting → Highlight Cells Rules and apply separate rules for each column with the given thresholds.
