How Data Bars work in Excel Conditional Formatting
Excel's Data Bars conditional formatting option inserts horizontal bars inside cells to display the importance of a number in relation to other values within the chosen range. The value increases with the length of the bar.
Key points:
- Visual, not changing the data.
- Access: Home > Conditional Formatting > Data Bars (choose a style).
- Min/Max can be auto, number, percent, or percent of total.
- Useful for quick comparisons across a range.
