Remarks
The conditional formatting rule specified by the RankConditionalFormatting object formats cell values that fall in the top/bottom N bracket. 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.AddRankConditionalFormatting method) or remove (the ConditionalFormattingCollection.Remove method) the conditional format.
Example
This example demonstrates how to apply a "top/bottom N" conditional formatting rule.
To create a new conditional formatting rule represented by the
RankConditionalFormatting
object, access the collection of conditional formats from the Worksheet.ConditionalFormattings property and call the ConditionalFormattingCollection.AddRankConditionalFormatting method. Pass the following parameters:- A CellRange object that defines a range of cells to which the rule is applied.
- A condition specified by one of the ConditionalFormattingRankCondition enumeration values.
- A positive integer value representing the number or percentage of the rank value.
- Specify formatting options to be applied to cells if the condition is true, using the ISupportsFormatting.Formatting property of the
RankConditionalFormatting
object. Define the background and font colors, and set the outline borders.
Note
Transparency is not supported in conditional formatting.
To remove the RankConditionalFormatting
object, use the ConditionalFormattingCollection.Remove, ConditionalFormattingCollection.RemoveAt or ConditionalFormattingCollection.Clear methods.
// Create the rule to identify top three values in cells F2 through F15.
RankConditionalFormatting cfRule = worksheet.ConditionalFormattings.AddRankConditionalFormatting(worksheet.Range["$F$2:$F$15"], ConditionalFormattingRankCondition.TopByRank, 3);
// Specify formatting options to be applied to cells if the condition is true.
// Set the background color to dark orchid.
cfRule.Formatting.Fill.BackgroundColor = Color.DarkOrchid;
// Set the outline borders.
cfRule.Formatting.Borders.SetOutsideBorders(Color.Black, BorderLineStyle.Thin);
// Set the font color to white.
cfRule.Formatting.Font.Color = Color.White;
