# Find the index of the column you want to format:
$wsIndex = (($xml.Descendants("{http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}th") | Where-Object { $_.Value -eq "WS" }).NodesBeforeSelf() | Measure-Object).Count

# Format the column based on whatever rules you have:
switch($xml.Descendants("{http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}td") | Where { ($_.NodesBeforeSelf() | Measure).Count -eq $wsIndex } ) {
   {200MB -lt $_.Value } { $_.SetAttributeValue( "style", "background: red;"); continue } 
   {20MB  -lt $_.Value } { $_.SetAttributeValue( "style", "background: orange;"); continue } 
   {10MB  -lt $_.Value } { $_.SetAttributeValue( "style", "background: yellow;"); continue } 
}
# Save the html out to a file
$xml.Save("$pwd/procs2.html")

# Open the thing in your browser to see what we've wrought
ii .\procs2.html
