Does that work for a range? I do not need it for one cell. I need it for a range of cells from A1 to EX1.

Excel automatically adjusts the cell reference. For B1, it looks at the value of B1, etc.
This is because the formula uses the relative cell reference A1.
If we had used the absolute cell reference $A$1, the rule would color all cells in A1:EX1 depending on the value of A1 alone.
