Formating cells under Header 2, Header 3, Header 4, etc, based on cells under Header 1, in the same

Hi!
I try to format cells based on a minimum list:

minimumcount 1count 2count 3count 4
10550350
202520525
5060556545
3015452535
5020406050

 

If the number in one of the cells are lower then minimun, it should be formated to example red.

This is a big document, and it will take forever to do 1by1. If there a way to do this faster?

 

Thx

    3. Paste the below formula 
    4. Select your desired highlight color by select format.

     

     

    =B2:E2<$A2

     

     

     

    Important : Make sure you select the correct range & ensure that your minimum value is absolute column $A2
