Hi,

At my company we have switched to the new Outlook version.
I am now trying to find a way to categorize the outlook calendar in similar way as in previous version. Then I could add contitional formatting on the categories (person, workd ertc) and get a good overview in my calendar.

I can not find this functionality anynore

It is not sufficient to right klick on a meeting and change category manually.

Greatful if you can support in this question, it really helps my efficiency.

Best Regards Karin

    I am just wondering - Do MS actually read these posts?
    I get frustrated - we all know, it is always a matter of time, before they shut down the older versions.
    It seems like MS are more busy with AI and games.
    I do appreciate their work in those areas too - but PLEASE....
    Get the CONDITIONAL FORMATTING in Outlook Calendar FIXED!

    The color choices could also be better. I prefer bright colors when categorizing my calendar! Appointments pop out more with bright colors vs the darker drabby colors currently offered.
