Quick Styles are combinations of different formatting options and are displayed in a thumbnail in the
various Quick Style galleries. When you place your pointer over a Quick Style thumbnail, you can see

ConditionalFormatting
Manageconditionalformattingruleprecedence
You create, edit, delete, and view all conditional formatting rules in the workbook by using the
Conditional Formatting Rules Manager dialog box. (On the Home tab, in the Styles group, click the
arrow next to Conditional Formatting, and then click Manage Rules.) When two or more conditional
formattingrulesapplytoarangeofcells,theserulesareevaluatedinorderofprecedencebyhowthey
arelistedinthisdialogbox.
Arulehigherinthelisthasgreaterprecedencethanarulelowerinthelist.Bydefault,newrulesare
always added to the top of the list and therefore have a higher precedence, but you can change the
orderofprecedencebyusingtheMoveUpandMoveDownarrowsinthedialogbox.
Whathappenswhenmorethanoneconditionalformattingruleevaluatestotrue
For a range of cells, you can have more than one conditional formatting rule that evaluates to true.
Eithertherulesdon'tconflictortheyconflict:
When rules don't conflict For example, if one rule formats a cell with a bold font and another rule
formats the same cell with a red color, the cell is formatted with both a bold font and a red color.
Becausethereisnoconflictbetweenthetwoformats,bothrulesareapplied.
