To specify conditional highlighting for values in a table, complete these steps:

Right-click in the table, and then select Conditional Highlighting to open the Conditional Highlighting dialog box.
Click New.

Three tabs appear in the Conditional Highlighting dialog box: Rule, Color and Font, and Image and Text.
On the Rule tab, complete these steps:
1. Select a Measure.
2. Select the Condition that you want the selected measure to match.
3. In the Value field, type in a value or select a measure in the drop-down list. If you selected Is between as the condition, then type a Min value and a Max value. If you selected Is missing value as the condition, then this field is unavailable.
  
  Note: If you are creating a condition for percentages, you must enter the conditional value as a decimal number. For example, if you want to filter for values above 50%, enter .5 as the conditional value.
