Conditional formatting based on another cell's value

Question

I\'m using Google Sheets for a daily dashboard. What I need is to change the background color of cell B5 based on the value of another cell - C5. If C5 is greater than 80%

Answer 1

One more example:

If you have Column from A to D, and need to highlight the whole line (e.g. from A to D) if B is "Complete", then you can do it following:

"Custom formula is":  =$B:$B="Completed" 
Background Color:     red 
Range:                A:D

Of course, you can change Range to A:T if you have more columns.

If B contains "Complete", use search as following:

"Custom formula is":  =search("Completed",$B:$B) 
Background Color:     red 
Range:                A:D
