Expression Rule

The expression rule in conditional formatting is used to set the expression rule's formula. This rule can be added using the methods of the IFormatCondition interface.

Refer to the following example code to add expression rule in a worksheet.

// Adding Expression Rule
Object[][] data = new Object[][] 
{ 
   { 1, 2 }, 
   { 0, 1 }, 
   { 0, 0 }, 
   { 0, 3 }, 
   { 4, 5 } 
};
        
worksheet.getRange("A1:B5").setValue(data);
        
IFormatCondition condition = (IFormatCondition) worksheet.getRange("B1:B5").getFormatConditions().add(FormatConditionType.Expression, FormatConditionOperator.None, "=A1",null);
condition.getInterior().setColor(Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 0));
