There are two ways to apply conditional formatting -

1. Analytics+ offers quick, single-click options such as quick rules and color scales which are covered in [one-click rules](https://docs.inforiver.com/analytics+/working-with-analytics+/9.-conditional-formatting/one-click-rules).
2. You can create rules from scratch using nested if-conditions, ranking, etc which are covered in [configuring rules](https://docs.inforiver.com/analytics+/working-with-analytics+/9.-conditional-formatting/configuring-rules/applying-conditional-formatting-rules).
