In A2:A10 I entered some text; a few had the word "Total"
In B2:F10 I entered some numbers
I select B2:F10 and in the Conditional Formatting dialog used
Formula IS: =AND($A2="Total", B2<5)
Format fill orange
Note the $ on A2. Because I selected down to row 10, the conditional
formatting applies to those rows also (so row 5 is =AND($A5="Total", B5<5) )
In pre-Excel2007 you can have up to 3 conditions
