Select cell A2, click on 'Format' on the top toolbar.
Click 'Conditional Formatting'

Condition 1
On the first drop-down box select 'Formula Is'
In the next box enter =A1<0
Click the 'Format' button, on the 'Patterns' tab select red colour.
Click OK.

Click the 'Add' button

Condition 2
On the first drop-down box select 'Formula Is'
In the next box enter =A10
Click the 'Format' button, on the 'Patterns' tab select yellow colour.
OK out.

Enter a value in cell A1.

Hop this helps.
