Conditional Formatting in Outlook

  Conditional Formatting in Outlook:  Automatically change incoming message colors and fonts based on sender, subject, or recipients Conditional formatting is a way to make messages that meet defined conditions stand out in the message list by using color, fonts, and styles. You specify conditions that an incoming message should meet, such as a sender’s name or email address, and then conditional formatting is applied only to those messages. For example, a conditional rule can specify that all messages sent from your manager appear in red text in the message list. To make further changes to the body of your email messages,  change the default font or text color for email messages  . Note:   In Microsoft Outlook 2007, the  Organize  feature enabled you to create conditional text formatting rules for email messages. In Microsoft Outlook 2010 and later, conditional text formatting is now accessed in the  Advanced View Settings  dialog box. ...

XLOOKUP function

  How does the XLOOKUP function work in Microsoft Excel? To explain the XLOOKUP function properly, we’ll use an example scenario. An example Excel spreadsheet contains the staff list of a small company, containing IDs, names, email addresses, and responsibilities. A dataset, such as this one, can be used as a searchable directory in Excel using an XLOOKUP formula. A search value for this formula could contain any of the values above, from an ID number to an email address. XLOOKUP can find a value (matching in full or the closest approximation) from a range of cells (or search array) and return it. To do this, a formula using XLOOKUP has a number of arguments that need to be used to create the query. Sample -2
