Conditional formatting x amount of cells based off of 1 other cell

Copper Contributor

Hello all, 

I am trying to get multiple cells highlighted based off of 1 number. For example, if i have the number 10 in A1, i would like A2-A12 to be highlighted a certain color. I would also like to give different colors to different amounts(1-4 red; 4.01-8 yellow; 8.01+ green). Is this a possibility?

Select A2:A12.

 

On the Home tab of the ribbon, click Conditional Formatting > New Rule...
Select 'Use a formula to determine which cells to format'.
Enter the formula

 

=A$1>=1

 

Click Format...
Activate the Fill tab.
Select red.
Click OK, then click OK again.

 

Repeat these steps, but with the formula =A$1>4 and yellow.

Repeat them again with the formula =A$1>8 and green.
