Excel.IconSetConditionalFormat class

Represents an icon set criteria for conditional formatting.

Extends

Remarks

[ API set: ExcelApi 1.6 ]

Properties

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

criteria

An array of criteria and icon sets for the rules and potential custom icons for conditional icons. Note that for the first criterion only the custom icon can be modified, while type, formula, and operator will be ignored when set.

reverseIconOrder

If true, reverses the icon orders for the icon set. Note that this cannot be set if custom icons are used.

showIconOnly

If true, hides the values and only shows icons.

style

If set, displays the icon set option for the conditional format.

Methods

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

set(properties, options)

Sets multiple properties of an object at the same time. You can pass either a plain object with the appropriate properties, or another API object of the same type.

set(properties)

Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that is passed to it.) Whereas the original Excel.IconSetConditionalFormat object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.IconSetConditionalFormatData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.

Property Details

Property Value

criteria

An array of criteria and icon sets for the rules and potential custom icons for conditional icons. Note that for the first criterion only the custom icon can be modified, while type, formula, and operator will be ignored when set.

Examples

// Link to full sample: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OfficeDev/office-js-snippets/prod/samples/excel/14-conditional-formatting/conditional-formatting-basic.yaml

await Excel.run(async (context) => {
    const sheet = context.workbook.worksheets.getItem("Sample");
    const range = sheet.getRange("B8:E13");
    const conditionalFormat = range.conditionalFormats
        .add(Excel.ConditionalFormatType.iconSet);
    const iconSetCF = conditionalFormat.iconSet;
    iconSetCF.style = Excel.IconSet.threeTriangles;

    /*
        The iconSetCF.criteria array is automatically prepopulated with
        criterion elements whose properties have been given default settings.
        You can't write to each property of a criterion directly. Instead,
        replace the whole criteria object.

        With a "three*" icon set style, such as "threeTriangles", the third
        element in the criteria array (criteria[2]) defines the "top" icon;
        e.g., a green triangle. The second (criteria[1]) defines the "middle"
        icon. The first (criteria[0]) defines the "low" icon, but it
        can often be left empty as the following object shows, because every
        cell that does not match the other two criteria always gets the low
        icon.            
    */
    iconSetCF.criteria = [
        {} as any,
        {

reverseIconOrder

If true, reverses the icon orders for the icon set. Note that this cannot be set if custom icons are used.

reverseIconOrder: boolean;

Property Value

boolean

showIconOnly

If true, hides the values and only shows icons.

showIconOnly: boolean;

style

If set, displays the icon set option for the conditional format.

style: Excel.IconSet | "Invalid" | "ThreeArrows" | "ThreeArrowsGray" | "ThreeFlags" | "ThreeTrafficLights1" | "ThreeTrafficLights2" | "ThreeSigns" | "ThreeSymbols" | "ThreeSymbols2" | "FourArrows" | "FourArrowsGray" | "FourRedToBlack" | "FourRating" | "FourTrafficLights" | "FiveArrows" | "FiveArrowsGray" | "FiveRating" | "FiveQuarters" | "ThreeStars" | "ThreeTriangles" | "FiveBoxes";
