There are two types of colored cells in the Leave Manager Excel Template:

1. Based on a conditional formatting

2. Direct cell color


These two have to be approached separately, in different sheets of the template as shown below: 


1. Settings (Conditional Formatting).

2. Balance Report header (Direct cell color)
3. Employee Report - Legend (Direct cell color)
4. Employee Report - Employee Calendar (Conditional Formatting)
5. Employee Report - Total for each leave type Header (Direct cell Color)
6. Team Dashboard - Legend & Total Header (Direct Cell Color)
7. Teadm Dashboard - Calendar (Conditional Formatting)

Below is an example to change each of these color types in cells:

2. Go to Conditional Formatting from Home ribbon -> conditional Formatting - > Manager rules:
