🌟 Create Dynamic Conditional Borders in Google Sheets (Dark Mode)

👉🏼Learn how to implement conditional borders for Google Sheets and make your lists stand out with a dark-mode-friendly design.

This setup features a dynamic list with conditional borders in dark mode, designed for easy organization of your data. While Google Sheets doesn’t natively support conditional borders, you can import them from Excel and apply this clever method to enhance your Sheets experience.

Why this is Cool

Conditional Borders Hack: Google Sheets doesn’t directly allow conditional borders, but by setting them up in Excel and importing, you can apply this popular feature for organized data visualizations.

New Line for Each Value: With this approach, every new entry in column A automatically gets its own bordered row, making it ideal for lists, task management, or any structured data.

Dark Mode Aesthetics: This version uses a sleek dark theme to keep your data visually appealing. It’s easy on the eyes and professional, while also being functional.

Light Mode Available: If you prefer a different aesthetic, there is also a light mode option available for similar use.

🥰Our Approach:
Maximizing Formulas for Speed and Functionality

At Cooltables, we believe in harnessing the full power of Google Sheets™ formulas to deliver fast, functional, and dynamic templates. Our templates are designed to be business-oriented, catering to dashboards, infographics, and analytics—without requiring you to understand the underlying formulas.


Why Formulas?

We push Google Sheets formulas to their limits, enabling smooth performance even with large datasets. This allows our templates to handle hundreds of rows of data and generate individual charts for each value—something difficult to achieve in traditional BI tools like Looker Studio, which is better suited for static charts.


Easy to Use

All our templates are easy to replicate. You don’t need to know how they're built; simply load your data, and the template does the rest.


Dynamic Charts & Visualizations

Cooltables templates leverage Google Sheets’ flexibility to create dynamic, serialized charts that update as your data changes. Unlike static BI tools, our charts adapt in real time and can display visualizations for large datasets, making them ideal for tracking multiple metrics simultaneously.

By focusing on speed, functionality, and ease of use, we ensure that every Cooltables template is optimized for real-world business needs—helping you visualize and analyze data effectively within the familiar environment of Google Sheets™.
