I'm trying to figure out how to highlight cells where there are 3 or more consecutive occurrences of a number above 85 which would highlight in green and 3 or more consecutive occurrences of a number under 80 which would highlight in red, I imagine there'd be two different conditional formatting rules needed for them. So in the below table, cells A18, B18, C18 and D18 would all be Green as they were consecutively over 85, and E5, F5, G5 would be in red as they're under 80
