Roman Kuznetsov (aka Kompilainenn) from our documentation community has created a Conditional Formatting Guide for LibreOffice Calc. He says:
…In this guide I wrote about:
- How to create, change and delete conditional formatting
- Multiple conditions for one cell range, and priority of condition processing

- All categories and all types of conditional formatting
- Copying of conditional formatting
