Format Condition	Description	Can be applied to
Greater Than / Greater Than or Equal To	The Greater Than/Greater Than or Equal To format conditions allow you to apply formatting to elements whose values are greater than/greater than or equal to the specified value. For instance, the following image displays a Grid dashboard item whose Extended Price cells are filled in green if their values are Greater Than 150 000.	Measures or date-time dimensions
Less Than / Less Than or Equal To	The Less Than/Less Than or Equal To format conditions allow you to apply formatting to elements whose values are less than/less than or equal to the specified value. For instance, the following image displays a Grid dashboard item whose Extended Price cells are filled in red if their values are Less Than 150 000.	Measures or date-time dimensions
Equal To / Not Equal To	The Equal To/Not Equal To format conditions allow you to apply formatting to elements whose values are equal to/not equal to the specified value. For instance, the following image displays a Grid dashboard item whose Sales Person cells are filled in blue if their values are equal to ‘Robert King’.	Measures, string or date-time dimensions
Between / Not Between	The Between/Not Between format conditions allow you to apply formatting to elements whose values are between/not between the specified values.

Text That Contains	The Text That Contains format condition allows you to apply formatting to elements whose values contain the specified text. For instance, the following image displays a Grid dashboard item whose Sales Person cells are in cyan if their values contain the ‘An’ text.	Measures, string or date-time dimensions
