Let's say if I have two conditional formatting for a list:

  1. if category = cat, background color change to red

  2. if location = foo, background color change to grey.

Now, if the item has the category equal to cat and location equal to foo, how does sharepoint define which back ground color should it apply to the item? I'm using sharepoint 2010 but I couldn't find any setting about the priority of conditional formatting.

  • which one you want to apply if both conditions are true?

  • @Waqas Sarwar MCSE , I want category = cat to have higher priority, so the background color should be red

  • i think then you need to put 3 conditions.

You need 3 conditions, something like this

  1. if category = cat and location = foo background color change to red
  2. if category = cat and location !=(not equal) foo background color change to red
  3. if category !=(not equal) cat and location = foo background color change to grey
