Default Conditional Formatting Across Multiple Cells

I have data file that I want to conditional format Red/Green fill based on =
conditional on a single row of data. In Excel 2003 it was fairly simple to
lock a row but not a column and by selecting all the cells to format it would
change the column relative to the cell. Just having an issue transitioning
to conditional formatting in 2007.


Sample Data
a b c d
1 goal 10 245 125
2 day1 8 200 76
3 day2 8 250 125
4 day3 15 250 130
5 day4 15 300 150
6 day5 0 100 0
7 Avg 9 220 96

Cells Rows 2 - 7 should be conditional on Row 1 value in the same column
Desired rows to be Red - b4,b5,c3,c4,c5,d3,d4,d5
all others should be Green

I actually have about 500 rows that I want conditional formatted on row 1 so
doing this with a block of cells selected is desired.

Thanks
