00:00the question is can you turn on and off your conditional formatting like this the answer to
00:04that of course you can and this is how i do it the first thing to do is to introduce
00:08a checkbox go to
00:09developer controls insert and a checkbox somewhere on your spreadsheet right click on the checkbox
00:15edit text and basically change it to toggle conditional formatting right click on the
00:19checkbox once more then link your checkbox to a cell i'm going to link it to f2 and press enter
00:25twice now every time you toggle you can see that the value changes on cell f2 next you're going to
00:30go ahead and select all your data set from top to bottom and then go home style conditional
00:34formatting manage rules and you're going to say new rule in here you're going to use formula the
00:39formula i'll be using here is going to be equal f2 equal false and the format i'm going to just
00:44leave
00:44it as no format and click on ok and over here you're going to put a check to stop if
00:48it's true
00:49and click ok lastly for aesthetic reason remove the grid line set the color in cell f2 to white
00:54and align the checkbox correctly and then test it
