Conditional Formatting can be used for:

  1. Identifying duplicate records
  2. data bars
  3. Highliting values as per your requirment e.g values greater than less thay or equal to

Last I would say it's more of a presentation tool and definatly it can make your work look better and effective.

Happened to use it several times, whether it be during studies or whilst on job. If I take it on a border prospective, I used it to mark out negative values, denote units/price/headcount out in a particular range, out of a huge statistical data-highlight useful or underrated or over rated values, particular employee and his concerned details, duplicate values, useful in marketing to bifurcate particular customers/clients and etc.

I used it several times. In one instance, I was building a master data template and used the Conditional Formatting to highlight the duplicate cells. In other case, I found it useful to highlight the negative numbers.
