Hi,

You got to use Format-conditional formatting and use this formula there
and choose your desired format.

Format Conditional Formatting Condition 1 Cell Valve is equal
to fail Format (button) Patterns tab choose the red suqaure
OK

My spelling :( - Sorry - It's getting late. SHB square

If that is just the font you can use normal cell formatting
for that. See http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/formula.htm

where you will find [Red][0]"No";[Green]"Yes"

so you could use format, number, custom
for cell D9 of [Red][<75]"Fail";"Pass"
formula for D9: =C9
