conditionalFormatting (Conditional Formatting)

A Conditional Format is a format, such as cell shading or font color, that a spreadsheet applicaiton can automatically apply to cells if a specified condition is true. This collection expresses conditional formatting rules applied to a particular cell or range.

[Example: This example applies a 'top10' rule to the cells C3:C8. The @dxfId references the formatting (defined in the styles part) to be applied to cells that match the criteria.

<conditionalFormatting sqref="C3:C8">
<cfRule type="top10" dxfId="1" priority="3" rank="2"/>
</conditionalFormatting>

end example]
