GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 306411
Implement conditional formats
Last modified: 2011-07-08 01:01:49 UTC
Version details: 1.5.1.RC1 Distribution/Version: XP SP2 In Excell, the cells have a conditionnal format (example: Red color for text if value <0). When you open the file with gnumeric, the cells seem empty.In fact, the text color is white. Is it possible to have a similar function for conditional format?
Conditional formats are simply not implemented in Gnumeric at this time. You probably get a white cell because the cell's default format (the one to be overridden by the conditional format) is white.
1.5.3 now imports conditional formats and implements background and patterns.
Can you give me a sample file ?
Created attachment 52529 [details] File with conditional format (red if >0 and white in the other cases) When I was prepairing the file, I have noticed that: -Gnumeric doesn't ask for updating external data -Gnumeric doesn't take care of the Excell protection (read only when saving)
Thanks, reopening.

Note that we have been handling conditional background colours for a while. This file uses conditional foreground colours which we apparently are not.
This turned out to be a rendering issue, The conditional styles where loaded but just nor rendered. This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
