Hello, is it known when this feature is finished?
It is the last thing, what I'm missing in this library.

There is no planned date for this. It is on the shorter todo list but it is also non-trivial and I don't have a lot of time at the moment.

You will get an update on this issue when there is something new.

Since I've had a few requests about this I've added a note about making donations to prioritize this feature.

That'd be great.
Conditional formatting is also an important feature for xlsxwriter Python module.

Is there any news on this issue?

[TricksterGuy]

+1 on this. However...

I couldn't wait, so I forked and implemented enough of the code just to support my use case. I used the python version of this library as a guide.

If its okay with you... I would be fine with finishing the implementation, cleaning up the code, and adding unit tests for it and submitting a pull request.

If we can get an API hammered down (there appears to be a ton of different conditional format options and flavors) then I can continue.

@TricksterGuy Thanks for the suggestion and sorry for not replying sooner.

I'm going to pass on collaborating on this, at this point, since I need to work on the other items on the Roadmap in order (conditional formatting is third on the current list). Also, I need to work through my process for implementing a feature in the same way that I always do. I'll ping back into this thread once I have started on it. Thanks. -- John

I'm closing this feature request and replacing it with #302 so as not to spam people who subscribed to this feature request three years ago. Anyone who is still interested in this feature can +1/subscribe to #302.

[jmcnamara]

I've added some information about work in progress code for conditional formatting in #302, if anyone is interested in trying it.

This feature is now on master for anyone who wants to try it. Docs are here: http://libxlsxwriter.github.io/working_with_conditional_formatting.html
