    Hello @RUPESH KUMAR

    One option is to set up a helper column for symbols (such as traffic lights).

    In this column you'll enter a formula something like:

    =IF(Ordered@row > [Cust. Order Amount]@row, "Yes", IF(Ordered@row < [Cust. Order Amount]@row, "No", "Hold"))

    You'll then use the Conditional Formatting button in the tool bar (blue box in picture above) and set up similar to this:

    I have only chosen to highlight the Customer Order Amount cell. You can change it to the Ordered cell, other cells, or the whole row.

    Hope this helps and that you have a great day,
