The following members return ExpressionConditionalFormatting objects:
The conditional formatting rule specified by the ExpressionConditionalFormatting object highlights cells whose values meet the condition expressed by the relational operator. The Worksheet.ConditionalFormattings property returns the ConditionalFormattingCollection collection that stores all conditional formatting rules specified on a worksheet. Use the methods of the ConditionalFormattingCollection object to apply (the ConditionalFormattingCollection.AddExpressionConditionalFormatting method) or remove (the ConditionalFormattingCollection.Remove method) the conditional format.
This example demonstrates how to create the rule that uses a relational operator as a formatting criteria.
To create a new conditional formatting rule represented by the ExpressionConditionalFormatting object, access the collection of conditional formats from the Worksheet.ConditionalFormattings property and call the ConditionalFormattingCollection.AddExpressionConditionalFormatting method. Pass the following parameters:
Specify formatting options to be applied to cells if the condition is true , using the ISupportsFormatting.Formatting property of the ExpressionConditionalFormatting object. Set the background and font colors.
Note
Transparency is not supported in conditional formatting.
To remove the ExpressionConditionalFormatting object, use the ConditionalFormattingCollection.Remove, ConditionalFormattingCollection.RemoveAt or ConditionalFormattingCollection.Clear methods.
// Create the rule to identify values that are above the average in cells F2 through F15.
ExpressionConditionalFormatting cfRule =
worksheet.ConditionalFormattings.AddExpressionConditionalFormatting(worksheet.Range["$F$2:$F$15"], ConditionalFormattingExpressionCondition.GreaterThan, "=AVERAGE($F$2:$F$15)");
// Specify formatting options to be applied to cells if the condition is true.
// Set the background color to yellow.
cfRule.Formatting.Fill.BackgroundColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 0xFA, 0xF7, 0xAA);
// Set the font color to red.
cfRule.Formatting.Font.Color = Color.Red;
' Create the rule to identify values that are above the average in cells F2 through F15.
Dim cfRule As ExpressionConditionalFormatting = worksheet.ConditionalFormattings.AddExpressionConditionalFormatting(worksheet.Range("$F$2:$F$15"), ConditionalFormattingExpressionCondition.GreaterThan, "=AVERAGE($F$2:$F$15)")
' Specify formatting options to be applied to cells if the condition is true.
' Set the background color to yellow.
cfRule.Formatting.Fill.BackgroundColor = Color.FromArgb(255, &HFA, &HF7, &HAA)
' Set the font color to red.
cfRule.Formatting.Font.Color = Color.Red
