Open your spreadsheet and highlight the cells where you want to apply the formatting. Then, navigate to the "Format" menu and select "Conditional formatting." This will open a sidebar where you can create a rule with a formula. For single-color formatting, choose the appropriate condition under "Format cells if."

Once done, click "Apply" to save your changes, and the cells will automatically change color according to your specified conditions.

To apply formatting rules, select the relevant cells, then go to the "Format" menu and choose "Conditional formatting." This will open a toolbar on the right. You can then create a rule.
For single-color formatting, select a condition under "Format cells if" to trigger the rule and customize the appearance under "Formatting style."
For color scales, under "Preview," pick a color scale and set a minimum and maximum value, and optionally a midpoint value. To choose the value category, click the down arrow. Once you've set up the desired formatting, click "Done."
You can also apply formatting to one or more cells using custom formulas based on the contents of other cells. In the "Format cells if" drop-down menu, select "Custom formula is." If there's an existing rule, you can click on it, or you can add a new rule by choosing "Custom formula is." Next, click on "Value or formula" to enter your desired formula and rules. Once you've set everything up, click "Done" to apply the custom formatting.
