Excel 2016 from Scratch Exercise
Conditional Formatting with Slider
An Excel tutorial by Peter Kalmstrom
In
this demo in the Excel 2016 from Scratch series, Peter Kalmstrom
adds conditional formatting to a range of cells and creates
a slider (or scroll bar) that works by the same condition.
The conditional formatting in this exercise shows when values
are above a critical limit. By dragging the slider back
and forth you can easily see how many values are critical
when the limit changes.
