This feature enables the spreadsheet user to create conditional statements where the results of a cell will be dependent upon the answer to another cell. One powerful feature in Calc is the IF/ELSE statement. LibreOffice Calc (and Calc) is no exception.
And of all the tools in an office suite, this is most evident in the spreadsheet. In fact, like most tools in an office suite, users tend to only use a fraction of the ability.
But many users don’t realize just how powerful the spreadsheet can be. And most office users are fairly confident in their skills with the spreadsheet. People use them for tracking products, time, employee information, payroll… the list goes on and on. Spreadsheets are an integral part of the day to day business world. If you’re using Calc in LibreOffice or, read on to learn how to use IF/ELSE statements in your spreadsheets. In particular, Linux users are often unaware that they can use conditional statements to make life much easier. Pull down Format -> Conditional Formattingĥ.Just under the surface of LibreOffice or Calc, you’ll find a ton of powerful features - many of which are often overlooked. Take note of the row number of the bottom of your selection (in my example I will use row 7)Ĥ. Take note of the letter of the column which you would like to compare the conditional against (in my example I will use Column A)ģ. Drag from the top left to bottom right so that the active cell in the selection is the last cell of the last row.Ģ.
Highlight entire range you'd like to format. Once you have your styles created ( I will use the examples Green, Yellow, Red1, Red2, Red3 below), you can create unlimited conditional formatting as follows:ġ. There are several ways to do this, the easiest one in my opinion is to style a sample cell the way you want and then create a style from that cell. The first step is to create the styles that you want to be able to apply, and name them. I have figured out how to do this, and will put the solution here for future google users so that the title of this thread as "Solved" is actually accurate. Thanks, but "install a different program" is equally unhelpful.
