Kurve understands the importance of visualizing data trends quickly and effortlessly. With V1.24, a new conditional formatting interface has been introduced as a game-changing feature for end users.
Don’t worry, for those who love creating Custom Columns, you can still highlight cells with color based on specific criteria in the same way you always have. With the new conditional formatting interface, however, you can dynamically highlight cells with vivid colors directly in the Kurve report view, making data interpretation a breeze. This feature not only saves time but also adds a vibrant touch to your reports, enabling you to uncover patterns and anomalies at a glance.
Conditional Formatting is a powerful tool in the realm of data analysis and reporting. It allows users to dynamically format cells based on specific conditions or criteria. This feature is particularly valuable when dealing with large datasets, as it enables users to visually highlight trends, patterns, or outliers without the need for manual sorting or filtering.
Traditionally, users often had to rely on complex formulas or scripts to apply conditional formatting in tools like Excel. However, Kurve's V1.24 revolutionizes this process by introducing a more intuitive and user-friendly approach. Now, highlighting cells with specific colors based on their values is as simple as a few clicks, eliminating the need to input the ‘Color Column Snippet’ Function and parameters in the Kurve Custom Column Expression window.
In the world of data analysis, efficiency is key. While both Conditional Formatting and Kurve Custom Columns serve the purpose of enhancing data visibility, they differ in their approach and application.

By simplifying the process of highlighting cells based on specific conditions, Kurve empowers users to uncover insights faster, ensuring that the journey from raw data to meaningful visualization is seamless and efficient.

You asked, we listened! Kurve's V1.24 introduces an Excel export enhancement that provides the level of detail you requested. Now, every time you export your data to Excel, the file name includes a date/time stamp.This seemingly simple addition is a game-changer, ensuring that your exported files are not only organized but also timestamped for future reference. It's a small detail that makes a big difference, streamlining your workflow and enhancing overall data management.
