# Applying Conditional Formatting | WPF Controls | DevExpress Documentation

You can change the appearance of individual data cells based on specific conditions using the **Conditional Formatting** context menu. This feature helps to highlight important information, identify trends and exceptions, and compare data.

To invoke the menu, do the following.

- Right-click the data cell corresponding to the intersection of the required data, row and column fields.
- Select the required conditional formatting or clear rule from the list.

Available format conditions are displayed when expanding the **Conditional Formatting** menu.

Note

To allow end-users to change the appearance of data cells, set the control’s [PivotGridControl.AllowConditionalFormattingMenu](/WPF/DevExpress.Xpf.PivotGrid.PivotGridControl.AllowConditionalFormattingMenu) property to **true**.

End-users can add, sort, modify or delete format conditions using the Conditional Formatting Manager.

Note

To allow end-users to use the Conditional Formatting Manager, ensure that the control’s [PivotGridControl.AllowConditionalFormattingManager](/WPF/DevExpress.Xpf.PivotGrid.PivotGridControl.AllowConditionalFormattingManager) property is set to **true**.
