Default automatically have cell change color when a number lower than n

Hello, I was wondering if there was a formula that would make the cell change
color if a number or percentage lower than a numebr I choose is in it. For
example if I have a formul to calculate the percentages of say customers
happy, can I make it automatically change ot yellow if the percentage drops
below 80%? Thanks!!

Please see "conditional formatting" in Excel Help.

Use conditional formatting. Select all the cells you want to change to yellow
if <80%.
Excel 2003:
In the conditional formatting dialog, select the dropdown & choose Less
Than, then enter .8. Click Format,click the Patterns Tab, select a yellow
color.
Excel 2007:
Select the cells, from the Home tab click Conditional formatting/Highlight
cell rules/
Less than. Then Enter .8 and if you like the choices given choose one of
them, otherwise select Custom Format & proceed as in Excel 2003.
