Step 4: Run VBS code that creates conditional formatting in Excel cells
Execute the following VBS code that exports an Excel file and sets conditional formatting to a range. The first step is to set the range where the conditional formatting will be applied, then set the formatting options.

How to run VBScript tutorial In order to run the tutorial create a file named Tutorial14.vbs containing previous code, open Command Prompt, change the directory to tutorial location using cd command and type: > cscript Tutorial14.vbs.
Overloaded methods For methods with same name but different parameters, only the first method overload retains the original name. Subsequent overloads are uniquely renamed by appending to the method name '_2', '_3', etc (method, method_2, method_3), an integer that corresponds to the order of declaration that can be found in EasyXLS.h, a file that comes with EasyXLS installation.
