Mastering Conditional

Formatting in Excel Using

Python: A Comprehensive
Guide
Conditional formatting is a valuable feature in spreadsheet
applications like Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. It allows you to
automatically change the appearance of cells — using colors, icons, or
data bars — based on the values they contain. This makes it easier to
analyze and understand your data by highlighting key trends, patterns,
and outliers. With conditional formatting, you can quickly see
important information at a glance, helping you make informed
decisions.

In this blog, we’ll delve into how to master conditional formatting in

Excel using Python.

Set Up Your Environment

Before you start working with conditional formatting in Excel, you

need to ensure that Python is installed on your computer. If you
haven’t done this yet, you can download and install Python from
the official Python website.

Once Python is installed, you’ll need to install the Spire.XLS for

Python library, which will enable you to manipulate Excel files and
apply various conditional formatting. To install this library, follow
these steps:

 Open your terminal (Command Prompt on Windows, Terminal on

macOS or Linux).

 Type the following command and press Enter:

pip install Spire.Xls

Understanding the Types of Conditional Formatting in

Excel
Conditional formatting comes in various types, each designed to
address specific data visualization needs. Below are the main types of
conditional formatting commonly available in Microsoft Excel:

 Cell Value-Based: Formats cells based on their values (e.g.,

greater than, less than).

 Color Scales: Applies gradient colors to create heat maps.

 Data Bars: Adds horizontal bars proportional to cell values.

 Icon Sets: Inserts icons (e.g., arrows, traffic lights) to represent

data trends.

 Top/Bottom Rules: Highlights top or bottom values (e.g., top

10%, above average).

 Duplicate/Unique Values: Highlights duplicate or unique

entries in a dataset.

 Date-Based: Formats cells based on date criteria (e.g., past due,

upcoming).

 Blank/Non-Blank: Highlights empty or non-empty cells.

 Custom Formula-Based: Uses formulas to define complex

formatting rules.

 Text-Based: Formats cells based on text content (e.g., contains,

starts with).
 Row/Column-Based: Formats entire rows or columns based on a
condition in one cell.

 Error or Warning Formatting: Highlights cells with errors or

invalid data.

Add Conditional Formatting to Excel in Python

The Spire.XLS for Python library supports nearly all of the conditional
formatting types mentioned above. The examples below illustrate how
to implement several common types of conditional formatting with this
library. In the end of this article, you will find a complete code example
that includes all the conditional formatting techniques.

Example 1: Cell Value-Based Conditional Formatting

Cell value-based conditional formatting allows you to apply formatting

rules based on the numeric values in a cell. This is useful for
highlighting cells that meet specific criteria, such as values greater than
or less than a certain threshold.

from spire.xls import *

# Initialize a new workbook and load an existing Excel file

workbook = Workbook()
workbook.LoadFromFile("conditional_formatting_example.xlsx")

# Access the first worksheet in the workbook

worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0]

# Create a conditional formatting rule for the range "B2:B6"

format = worksheet.ConditionalFormats.Add()
format.AddRange(worksheet.Range["B2:B6"])

# Define the condition for the formatting rule

condition = format.AddCondition()
# Set the format type to cell value
condition.FormatType = ConditionalFormatType.CellValue
# Set the comparison operator to 'greater than'
condition.Operator = ComparisonOperatorType.Greater
# Specify the threshold value
condition.FirstFormula = "75"
# Set the background color to yellow
condition.BackColor = Color.FromRgb(204, 204, 0)

# Save the modified workbook to a new file

workbook.SaveToFile("CellValueBased.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Version2016)
# Release resources associated with the workbook
workbook.Dispose()

Set Cell Value Based Conditional Formatting in Excel in Python

Example 2: Color Scales

Color scales provide a visual representation of data by applying a

gradient of colors based on the values in the cells. This is particularly
effective for identifying trends and patterns in large datasets.

from spire.xls import *

# Initialize a new workbook and load an existing Excel file

workbook = Workbook()
workbook.LoadFromFile("conditional_formatting_example.xlsx")

# Access the first worksheet in the workbook

worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0]
# Create a conditional formatting rule for the range "B2:B6"
format = worksheet.ConditionalFormats.Add()
format.AddRange(worksheet.Range["B2:B6"])

# Define the condition for the formatting rule

condition = format.AddCondition()
# Set the format type to color scale
condition.FormatType = ConditionalFormatType.ColorScale

# Save the modified workbook to a new file

workbook.SaveToFile("ColorScales.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Version2016)
# Release resources associated with the workbook
workbook.Dispose()

Set Color Scales Conditional Formatting in Excel in Python

Example 3: Data Bars

Data bars visually represent the relative size of values within cells by
adding horizontal bars. This makes it easy to compare values at a
glance, enhancing the readability of numerical data.

from spire.xls import *

# Initialize a new workbook and load an existing Excel file

workbook = Workbook()
workbook.LoadFromFile("conditional_formatting_example.xlsx")

# Access the first worksheet in the workbook

worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0]
# Create a conditional formatting rule for the range "B2:B6"
format = worksheet.ConditionalFormats.Add()
format.AddRange(worksheet.Range["B2:B6"])

# Define the condition for the formatting rule

condition = format.AddCondition()
# Set the format type to data bar
condition.FormatType = ConditionalFormatType.DataBar
# Use a gradient fill for the data bar
condition.DataBar.BarFillType = DataBarFillType.DataBarFillGradient
# Set the color of the data bar
condition.DataBar.BarColor = Color.FromRgb(99, 142, 198)

# Save the modified workbook to a new file

workbook.SaveToFile("DataBars.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Version2016)
# Release resources associated with the workbook
workbook.Dispose()

Set Data Bars Conditional Formatting in Excel in Python

Example 4: Icon Sets

Icon sets use symbols to represent data trends and categories. By

applying icons such as arrows or traffic lights, you can quickly convey
the status or comparison of values in your dataset.

from spire.xls import *

# Initialize a new workbook and load an existing Excel file

workbook = Workbook()
workbook.LoadFromFile("conditional_formatting_example.xlsx")
# Access the first worksheet in the workbook
worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0]

# Create a conditional formatting rule for the range "B2:B6"

format = worksheet.ConditionalFormats.Add()
format.AddRange(worksheet.Range["B2:B6"])

# Define the condition for the formatting rule

condition = format.AddCondition()
# Set the format type to icon set
condition.FormatType = ConditionalFormatType.IconSet
# Define the type of icon set to four arrows
condition.IconSet.IconSetType = IconSetType.FourArrows

# Save the modified workbook to a new file

workbook.SaveToFile("IconSets.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Version2016)
# Release resources associated with the workbook
workbook.Dispose()

Set Icon Sets Conditional Formatting in Excel in Python

Example 5: Top/Bottom Rules

Top and bottom rules allow you to highlight the highest or lowest
values in a dataset. This is useful for identifying key data points, such
as top performers or underperformers.

from spire.xls import *

# Initialize a new workbook and load an existing Excel file

workbook = Workbook()
workbook.LoadFromFile("conditional_formatting_example.xlsx")

# Access the first worksheet in the workbook

sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0]

# Create a conditional formatting rule for the range "B2:B6"

format_1 = sheet.ConditionalFormats.Add()
format_1.AddRange(sheet.Range["B2:B6"])

# Add a condition to format the top 2 ranked values in the specified range
condition_1 = format_1.AddTopBottomCondition(TopBottomType.Top, 1)
# Set the background color for the top values to red
condition_1.BackColor = Color.get_Red()

# Create another conditional formatting rule for the range "B2:B6"

format_2 = sheet.ConditionalFormats.Add()
format_2.AddRange(sheet.Range["B2:B6"])

# Add a condition to format the bottom 2 ranked values in the specified range
condition_2 = format_2.AddTopBottomCondition(TopBottomType.Bottom, 1)
# Set the background color for the bottom values to forest green
condition_2.BackColor = Color.get_ForestGreen()

# Save the modified workbook to a new file

workbook.SaveToFile("TopOrBottomRules.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Version2016)
# Release resources associated with the workbook
workbook.Dispose()

Set Top or Bottom Rules Conditional Formatting in Excel in Python

Example 6: Duplicate/Unique Values

This type of formatting helps identify duplicate or unique entries in
your data. It is particularly useful for data validation and ensuring data
integrity.

from spire.xls import *

# Initialize a new workbook and load an existing Excel file

workbook = Workbook()
workbook.LoadFromFile("conditional_formatting_example.xlsx")

# Access the first worksheet in the workbook

sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0]

# Create a conditional formatting rule for the range "B2:B6"

format_1 = sheet.ConditionalFormats.Add()
format_1.AddRange(sheet.Range["B2:B6"])

# Add a condition to format cells that contain duplicate values

condition_1 = format_1.AddCondition()
condition_1.FormatType = ConditionalFormatType.DuplicateValues
# Set the background color for the duplicate values to light yellow
condition_1.BackColor = Color.get_LightYellow()

# Create another conditional formatting rule for the range "B2:B6"

format_2 = sheet.ConditionalFormats.Add()
format_2.AddRange(sheet.Range["B2:B6"])

# Add a condition to format cells that contain unique values

condition_2 = format_2.AddCondition()
condition_2.FormatType = ConditionalFormatType.UniqueValues
# Set the background color for the unique values to sky blue
condition_2.BackColor = Color.get_SkyBlue()

# Save the modified workbook to a new file

workbook.SaveToFile("DuplicateOrUniqueValues.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Version2016)
# Release resources associated with the workbook
workbook.Dispose()
Set Duplicate or Unique Values Conditional Formatting in Excel in Python

Example 7: Date-Based

Date-based conditional formatting allows you to format cells based on

specific date criteria, such as highlighting past due dates. This is
valuable for managing deadlines and timelines.

from spire.xls import *

# Initialize a new workbook and load an existing Excel file

workbook = Workbook()
workbook.LoadFromFile("conditional_formatting_example.xlsx")

# Access the first worksheet in the workbook

sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0]

# Create a conditional formatting rule for the range "B2:B6"

format = sheet.ConditionalFormats.Add()
format.AddRange(sheet.Range["C2:C6"])

# Add a condition to format cells that contain dates from the last month
condition = format.AddTimePeriodCondition(TimePeriodType.LastMonth)
# Set the background color for these dates to orange
condition.BackColor = Color.get_Orange()

# Save the modified workbook to a new file

workbook.SaveToFile("DateBasedFormatting.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Version2016)
# Release resources associated with the workbook
workbook.Dispose()
