Default colors and conditional format - greater than, less than

Thank you. There's a lot of good info on that page, but, probably due to my
own ignorance, I can't seem to find what I need. Any other ideas?

I think you'll be able to modify the information on this web page to perform
the conditional formatting you require in your worksheet.

Hope you find this as useful as I have...

I have a spreadsheet showing the answers (in points) of A, B, C, D to 30
questions along with the "control" answer to each question. I'd like to
format this so that the cell of answers equal to or greater than the control
are green, the cell of answers between .01 and .25 points below the control
are yellow, and the cell more than .25 below the control are red.

The spreadsheet looks like this:

Control A B C D
Q1 3.5 3.25 3.8 3.15 3.7
Q2 2.8 2.62 3.1 2.85 2.55

I figured out how to do it line by line:
Q1
"cell value is" "greater than or equal to" "3.5" green
"cell value is" "between" "3.49" "3.25" yellow
"cell value is" "less than" "3.25" red

But I'd really like to not have to go in and change the numbers in the
conditional format for each and every line when I copy it. Is there a way to
reference the cell of the control number, less than the control numberbut
greater than .25 less than the control number, and more than .25 less than
the control number? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
