## How to enable Conditional Formatting

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Conditional Formatting is exclusively available in Hierarchy Filter & Date Filter (Month Range & Month). It is not available in Facet view or Date mode (Multi Year, Year, Week, Day).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
If the visual is already in Hierarchy View, Conditional Formatting is enabled by default.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
If Hierarchy View is not enabled, you can enable it via the Format Pane:

* Navigate to the **Format Pane**.
* Enable **Hierarchy View** to activate Conditional Formatting.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the Format Pane, you can customize Conditional Formatting using the following three options:

1. **Icon Color**: Customize the icon's color based on conditions.
2. **Background Color**: Highlight cells with specific background colors.
3. **Font Color**: Change the font color to emphasize specific data points.

To set up these, use the **Fx** button in the Format Pane, which allows you to define the conditions and formatting rules.
