Default How do I HIGHLIGHT a cell if it is smaller than a value X?

In a EXCEL spreadsheet I need to highlight cells (let them stand out) if the
value in the cell does not comply with a minimum laid down value. It must
ALERT met of the variance.

Look at conditional formatting (FORMAT=Conditional Formatting)

e.g for Data in Column B which must be = 4


Select column B

in CF:


FormulaIs: =AND(B1<4,B1<"")

Set pattern to required colour
