Being a data junkie I am always trying to manipulate numbers to visually tell a story. Weather its web analytics, usability testing or process improvement it has always been pretty difficult to get Excel to do pretty basic conditional formatting. With the recent release of Office 2007 that has become a lot easier and from what I have experimented with so far seems to be a good step forward. Above is a lo-quality 10 minute video pulled from the Microsoft site which demonstrates the new features around conditional formatting. Video copyright Microsoft 2007
