Conditional Formatting in Origin 2019

Excel has a very useful and fancy way to visualize data directly on the spreadsheet called “conditional formatting”.  Now that is also available in the coming Origin2019 with three options

• Highlight: Color cells that meet the condition
• Heatmap: Color cells by values using a palette or a color list
• Duplicates: Color cells with duplicate values

The idea of conditional formatting is to easily identify the key pieces from large datasets, by applying special formatting to cells in the spreadsheet that meet certain criteria. It visually calls user’s attention to important data points like outliers or a certain event.

Some examples:

Highlight with built-in Condition Highlight sales greater than specified value	Highlight with User-defined Condition Here is a block of measurement data and I’d like to find outliers that be outside 1.5*StdDev
Highlight Duplicates I have gene profiles from two different samples, and I’d like to cross compare to see if there will be matching pairs.	Heatmap Visualize this sales data by cell values in worksheet — The sales usually start high at the beginning of the year and keep going down
