Default Conditional Formatting help

Hello,

I am trying to do conditional formatting to change between three different
color across the rows based on a column H.
Column H has either 700, 800 or 900. If the rows has 700 in column H then
the cells across the rows are highlighted in yellow, 800 in blue and 900 in
orange.

I did the conditional formatting for formula, it seemed to pick up only the
700 and 900 but not the 800. Maybe my formula is wrong. Anyway, here is my
formula.
The column H is a numeric field, but I can change to text, etc. if needed
to. Thanks

condition 1:
Formula Is =$H2<800 ----- format hightlight yellow
condition 2:
Formula Is =$H2=800 ----- format hightlight blue
condition 3:
Formula Is =$H2800 ----- format hightlight orange

Default Conditional Formatting help

If your number in column H is produced with a formula, it probably is
returning exactly 800.

Try doing this

condition 1:
Formula Is =Abs($H2-800)<.001 ----- format hightlight blue
condition2:
Formula Is =$H2<800 ----- format hightlight yellow
condition 3:
Formula Is =$H2800 ----- format hightlight orange
