The top or bottom rules apply formatting to cells whose values fall in the top or bottom percent. The top ranked rule specifies the top or bottom values. The average rule applies to the greater or lesser average value of the entire range.

The following options are available:

top 10
top 10%
bottom 10
bottom 10%
above average
below average

Using Code

Set the properties of the rule class and then apply the formatting.

Example

This example code creates an average rule and uses the SetConditionalFormatting method to apply the rule.
