Cell Base Style

Base styles are also referred to as parent styles. Groups of cells can depend on the same base style. Whenever the common base style changes, all the dependent cells are automatically updated.

Base styles make conditional formatting very easy. Consider working on a process monitoring station. With base styles, a user can define the style for alerts in a single style and then have that style automatically applied whenever the conditions are met. Without base styles, this would involve laborious updates to individual cells.
