What’s new?
1. Conditional formatting
We’re excited to announce the launch of row and column-level conditional formatting in Spreadsheet.com, allowing you to create rules that automatically apply styles based on data in your worksheets.
For example, in the Inventory Management workbook below we create a rule to highlight Product rows when the quantity of Stock Units falls below 10. We also create a rule to color code Unit Price cells using a gradient based on the the range of values in this column.
Conditional formatting is a great way to automatically highlight and call attention to specific information in your workbooks without having to manually apply styling.
Each worksheet can have any number of rules, which can be reordered based on priority, and temporarily disabled as needed. Conditional formatting styles override, but do not replace, manually applied styles.
For more details, see the new Conditional Formatting article in our Help Center.
2. New templates
We’ve added nine new templates to the Template Gallery, for use cases ranging from Construction to Education, Training, Facilities, Groups and Clubs.
For example, the new Construction Schedule for Basement Finish template from Vertex42 was created from a Spreadsheet.com workbook that was recently used for an actual home remodeling project, including a curated list of materials from The Home Depot:
The new Facility Management template provides the foundation of a workflow automation tool for tracking assets, completing maintenance requests, and managing inventory. It also uses conditional formatting to gray out rows when a task is marked as Complete:
For school administrators and alumni relations managers, our Alumni Directory template is designed for tracking alumni information and interactions, and collecting updated alumni details using a Form view:
